11+ Exam Paper Identity Procedures
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:39 am
Hi,
I have been trying to find-out about the mechanics of how the exam authorities keep track of whose paper is whose. I am unable to find any info on the web. So, eg. are the exam papers individualised by the authorities with the name of each child printed on the front of his/her exam paper?, Or does the child write his/her name at the top of the paper in the traditional way? Also, what kind of ID checks are made on the day of the exam? Also, how can one be sure that one's child's reported standardised score is really the score of the named child, as opposed, e.g., to the theoretical possibility that the authorities have mixed-up two candidates? Can anyone point me to a description of the relevant procedures (or any of them)? In case it depends on the exam authority, I am specifically interested in Warwickshire (which is a CEM exam). Thanks.
