For scripts marked electronically, we provide a copy of the scanned image of the script.
Each script includes a candidate marks report. This shows the marks awarded for each question and the total mark given for the paper.
You’ll see various annotations on the script, and ticks, crosses or other symbols may or may not be included. Use of annotation depends on the type of question and the instructions given by the Principal Examiner. For example, the use of a green tick doesn’t always equate to a mark being given.
As a minimum, all scripts will have at least one annotation per page.
For an explanation of the annotations made on the script by either the original or the reviewing examiner, please see the glossary included in the mark scheme for the relevant qualification. (See below for information on accessing the mark scheme.)
Examiners are encouraged to use annotation to clarify complex assessment decisions. Therefore, general, straightforward and objective questions, with a small number of marks available, are unlikely to be annotated as the application of the mark scheme is self-evident.
