One of my colleagues who will be sitting the exam in the UK, but who has obtained almost all his experience abroad, has got me wondering about the exam marking process - specifically who marks the papers and how do they maintain consistency between markers?
Also, are all the papers sent to London for marking?
If they are, how are candidates marked who have answered the papers based on their own local signalling principles and equipment?
If they are not, how does the IRSE make sure it isn't easier to pass in one country than in another?
Does anyone here have any insight as to the process, or any other thoughts?
