Removing the marks from examination scripts before remarking them: does it make any difference?

By Roger Murphy

Abstract

Two senior GCE examiners re-marked photocopies of the same two hundred GCE examination scripts. One hundred of these scripts still had the marks and comments of the original examiners on them, whereas these were removed from the other one hundred. Comparisons were made between the marks awarded by the two examiners to these scripts and the original marks and it was found that removing previous marks and comments made a considerable difference to the extent to which these three sets of marks agreed.
