Marking
Markers with any marking related system role can score candidate responses. In marking teams, Markers with basic marking permissions are usually the ones responsible for scoring responses.
If standardisation 3 (S3) is active in the marking project, Markers will go through a training phase before they commence marking.
Marking may also be monitored for quality but this happens in the background, there will be no indication in the system interface that your marking is being monitored.
Quality control monitoring features include blind quality monitoring, sampling and double marking.
Tip
To learn more about each of these quality controls, see the Marker training and quality control section.
The responses assigned to you for marking have already been scored by a Chief Marker who has expertise in the particular field of testing. They have set a tolerance and if your scores fall within that tolerance, you will pass training.
If your scores fall outside of the tolerance, the system will flag this to the Chief Marker. They may contact you to discuss the discrepancy or pause your marking account. This ensures consistency across Markers so that candidates are not advantaged or disadvantaged regardless of which examiner marks their work.
S3 is completed from the My Marking Taskboard.
To do this:
Tip
If you have failed standardisation, the system will notify you.
Once you have completed S2, you will receive notification that you can begin marking.
Benchmark scores give you an understanding of what responses of a particular score look like. For example, what a response with a score of 2/10 or 7/10 look like. A score is similar when it is within 10% of the question’s available score (above or below) the selected score.
Tip
To learn how to search for and view benchmark scores, see the Benchmark scores section.
Once you have completed S3 training and the marking project has been moved to a status of ‘Marking’, you will see the Main Marking Phase – Marking section on the My Marking Taskboard.
To complete marking:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Escalate | This will send the script with your scores to the Senior Marker. They will receive an email notification with a link to review the score. |
Finish | This will save your scores and take you back to the marking taskboard. |
Mark next | This will save your scores and take you to the next question to score. |
Important
Once a Marker has viewed a candidate answer, the script needs to be marked. If not, the script will move into Requires Action (My scores) tab of the My scoring so far section. See the Requires action section for more information.

The way composite questions display in the My Marking Taskboard will depend on the settings configured in Marking Extended Settings > Marking Project Settings > Allow markers to mark multiple interactions of a composite item simultaneously.
With this setting disabled, the interactions of composite questions display as separate questions and the Marker will mark each interaction separately.
With this setting enabled, the composite questions display as one question and the Marker will mark both interactions from the same marking button.
At the bottom of a Marker’s taskboard is the My scoring so far expandable section. This is where Markers can view their progress.
The different tabs will display different items as follows:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Escalated | This tab lists scripts you have escalated to your Senior Marker to review. |
Requires Action (My scores) | This tab lists scripts requiring action, eg. if you’ve viewed a script but not completed the marking. You can select the Review scores button in the Actions column to access the marking page and view the action required. |
Open | This tab lists the scripts within their grace period (if configured for the marking project). Markers are able to change their scores until the grace period expires. |
Locked | This tab lists scripts which have exceeded the grace period (if configured for the marking project). Marking can no longer be edited for these scripts. |
