PEs must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should check this when reviewing scripts.
8. The RM Assessor comments box is used by your PE to explain the marking of the practice responses. Please refer to these comments when
checking your practice responses. Do not use the comments box for any other reason.
If you have any questions or comments for your PE, use the phone, the RM Assessor messaging system, or e-mail.
9. Assistant Examiners will send a brief report on the performance of candidates to their PE via email by the end of the marking period. The report
should contain notes on particular strengths displayed as well as common errors or weaknesses. Constructive criticism of the question paper/mark
scheme is also appreciated.
