The Marking Process

We will take exam papers from either a single class or a whole year and mark these to the marking guidelines/schemes that you send to us. This can either be using past papers from an examining body or an exam that you have designed. The exam results will be sent to you via a marking spreadsheet by email and the actual papers then following by post.  A separate summary report can also be delivered electronically that identifies key trends with specific questions or classes. Our turnaround time is to mark all papers within 14 working days from receipt of papers. This means your students and teaching staff are not left waiting for results and feedback and are able to focus their teaching and revision strategy.
