CXC Going Live with Electronic Marking in 2014

ICYMI – The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is utilising electronic marking or e-marking for some of its scripts for the 2014 May/June examination sitting. The Council will be marking 11 papers in seven Caribbean Secondary Education (CSEC) subjects using the e-marking technology provided by the UK-based company RM.

The seven subjects with papers being e-marked this year are Biology, Chemistry, Human and Social Biology, Integrated Science, Physics, Principles of Accounts and Principles of Business.

As part of the preparation for e-marking, 22 Chief Examiners, Assistant Chief Examiners and Team Assistants had their final training session last week at CXC’s Headquarters in Barbados by CXC and RM to use of the e-marking tool called RM Results. The 22 persons were taken through the steps for the standardisation and script-marking processes using the RM Results e-marking software. More
