CIE papers, where are they checked??

[RafaySid]

I've always guessed where are the papers sent for checking? I'm in Pakistan and where do the papers go from here? UK? Singapore? Anywhere else..?

i'm not sure, but i think it's said that papers from pakistan are checked in pakistan, then the top papers are sent to cie for further cheking before the distinctions etc are announced...
personally i think they're checked in a similar way to the SAT essays... i.e. the papers are scanned and then electronically distributed like worldwide, wherever the examiners are. thus the paper format and request to use dark blue or black pens...

Sent to England probably

i think they are all cheked at cambridge thats why it takes 2 months to get ur results.
but SATS are marked locally thats why you get your results in a week

papers of pakistan are checked in pakistan itself but it may be in different cities!

i think this article makes it clear they're sent to CIE. like, the hard copies. not the scanned stuff. there are other interesting articles there, too...

and it's even clearer here. wow i'm disappointed :/ Europe is low tech. and it's not even like they don't have the resources!

 

[RafaySid]

Yeah I mean they can not be scanned as in the mark scheme I've read that it's written for the examiners to 'not to put more than one question mark after writing comments' or 'tick this line' or 'mark that' or 'underline' etc. So they are hand-checked.
