Some areas covered in Principal Examiners’ Reports • Completion of the examinations • Very detailed comments on specific questions • Acceptable and unacceptable answers • The rubric - how well was it followed?
Mark schemes and Principal Examiners’ Reports: • Both give information about each part of each question • Should be used side by side to analyse students’ answers to questions • Provide information which can be passed on to students
