The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), says it will be utilising electronic marking or e-marking for some of its scripts for this year's May/June examination sitting.
The Council says, it will be marking 11 papers in seven CSEC subjects using the technology.
The seven subjects to be e-marked are Biology, Chemistry, Human and Social Biology, Integrated Science, Physics, Principles of Accounts and Principles of Business.
CXC Assistant Registrar, Brendalee Cato, says E-marking will help the Council capture detailed information than with paper-based marking, and will also improve the analysis of the examinations, down to the level of the questions.
She says the accuracy of the scoring will improve; and the likelihood of errors will be significantly reduced since the system automatically calculates scores as the script is being marked.
