Marking and gradingAssigning grades to students work in the UK context is a complicated and large scale process. We ve put together a simple guide to the Marking process, which can be found below. Overleaf, Beth Black from the OCR Research and Technical Standards team sets out to explain the grading process. A simple guide: Assuring OCR s Marking Accuracy OCR 20131. Mark schemes are the instructional documents which specify how marks must be awarded. They are carefully reviewed and revised for clarity and accuracy before an examination, and are only finalised once senior assessors have reviewed samples of candidates work and checked that the range of candidates answers is Markers are carefully selected and trained, and often have a number of years teaching experience. Each marker is assigned to a Marking team under the supervision of a team leader, who is supervised in turn by the examination s principal Examiners are standardised to ensure they all apply the mark scheme fairly and consistently.
Grading versus Marking Grading (usually referred to as ‘awarding’) is a separate process from that of marking and takes place after all (or nearly all) the marking is completed.
