So, there should never be any discrepancies in the marks awarded. Action required: With ‘short answer’ items, there may be (accidental) discrepancies in the scores awarded by the two markers. The Supervisor/Adjudicator should be on the lookout for any such discrepancies, and if they occur, should read the students’ response and award the correct mark. WRITING: In this section, student responses are independently marked by two markers using their judgement (based on the wording of the Rating Scale provided). As a result, differences may sometimes occur between the two scores awarded. In such cases, there are two possible procedures: 1) Acceptable differences: If – as in most cases – the difference between the two scores is small, i.e. just one level, the Supervisor/Adjudicator is not required to read the student’s response. He/She should simply use the mathematical average of the two scores. (*See below) 2) Unacceptable differences: However, if the difference between the two scores is substantial, i.e. more than one level, the Supervisor/Adjudicator should read the student’s response and, after due consideration, decide on an appropriate mark. CALCULATION OF AVERAGES: WRT 1 WRT 2 Pair of Final Pair of Final scores score scores score 10 / 8 9 10 / 8 9 8/6 7 8/6 7 6/4 5 6/4 5 4/2 3 4/2 3 2/0 1 2/0 1 IMPORTANT NOTE: As in previous years, individual markers should only award the marks specified in the relevant Rating Scale* (as in ‘pair of scores’ above). ‘In-between marks’ (as in ‘final score’ above) can only be awarded when two (differing) individual marks are combined by the Supervisor/ Adjudicator. [* Note: This means that, even though the computer screen shows all the possible final scores, individual markers should only use those scores which are mentioned in the scale.]
