CXC to utilise electronic marking of papers

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.
