After years of learning and preparing for the examination, you finally completed your International GCSE examinations. The moment you put your pen down, there are some detailed steps over a couple of months before you get your results.
Cambridge International receives over 8 million answer scripts a year from all over the world every script needs the correct mark so that everybody gets the correct grade.
This is how your exam papers are being marked and graded.
First, let's look at how we mark after your script is collected at the end of the exam is sent back to Cambridge. Most of the scripts are scanned ready to be marked by examiner's on a computer screen. Some exams are marked on paper and some such as multiple-choice and marked automatically by a computer. For any exam every student's work is marked in the same way. Cambridge examiner's are teachers or experts in their subject. It's really important that they all mark to the same standard this means that they mark according to the marks scheme and they all apply the marks scheme in the same way.
