2. Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
3. The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor
50% and 100% deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team
Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
4. If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader via the
RM Assessor messaging system.
5. Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then
, the crossed out response is not marked. Where no alternative response has been
provided, examiners should give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the
crossed out response where legible.
6. When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded,
even if one of the answers is correct.
7. On each blank page the annotation BP must be inserted to confirm that the page has
been checked. For additional objects (if present), a tick must be inserted on each page to
confirm that it has been checked.
,8. There is a NR (No Response) option. Award NR (No Response)
- if there is nothing written at all in the answer space
- OR if there is a comment which does not in any way relate to the question (e.g. ‘can’t do’, ‘don’t know’)
- OR if there is a mark (e.g. a dash, a question mark) which is not an attempt at the
question. The hash key (#) on your keyboard will enter NR.
Note: Award 0 marks for an attempt that earns no credit (including copying out the question).
9. The RM Assessor comments box is used by the Principal Examiner or your Team Leader to explain the marking of the practice responses.
Please refer to these comments when checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your Team Leader, use the RM Assessor messaging system.
10. Assistant Examiners should send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their Team Leader (Supervisor) by the end of the marking period.
Please follow the direction of your Team Leader about which questions you should report on and how to submit your report. Your report should
contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses.
