Central verification of HNC examinations
The central verification for the HNC Computing Graded Unit (Examination) takes place today. The Senior External Verifier (David Drennan) and his team are in the building looking over hundreds of exam papers and scripts to ensure that they meet the national standard.
I visited the team at lunchtime to see how things are going. They’re going well. David told me that the standards were good and that, so far, there were no serious issues.
We had an interesting discussion about permitting candidates to type their answers. One centre had done that, which made reading and marking their responses much easier. And typing, as you know, comes much more naturally to young people than hand writing. David will include this in his report.
The team finish their checks today. Contact David for more information about verification within vocational Computing subjects.
