The Life of an Examination Script

Room: Arkansas

presented by Jacqueline Harris, Head of Diploma Assessment, International Baccalaureate

This presentation will describe the life of an examination script—from writing the examination paper to issuing candidate grades. There will be a particular emphasis on the role of the examiners and how the IB supports and trains examiners using virtual learning environments. The development of our new online recruitment process will be reviewed, and the questions of how you become an examiner as well as what is new in Diploma Programme assessment will also be addressed.
