The clock does not pause. The only AI you may use is the one the exam provides. At zero we submit work saved on the server by the deadline. You then answer a few follow-up questions about your own work.

How marking and sign-off work

An AI examiner marks your work against a marking guide and quotes your own words as evidence. A person checks anything borderline. You receive a rating for each area: Emerging, Developing, Proficient, Accomplished. A strong overall result cannot make up for an area below its minimum.

AI examiners mark the evidence and sign off your result. A safety event, an integrity flag or a result on the pass mark goes to a person first. Every exam carries a documented starting pass mark, reviewed every two years. A panel replaces it once enough exams are marked.

Who signs off your result.

Briefing the assistant
Choosing what to hand to the assistant, and giving it the context, limits and format it needs.
Checking its work
Finding the errors, invented facts and gaps in what the assistant produces, and testing its claims against the source.
Judgement
Knowing when to trust the assistant, when to verify, when not to use it, and owning what goes out.
Safety and confidentiality
Handling confidential and personal data, seeing compliance, ethical and reputational risk, and declining unsafe requests.
The finished piece
Turning the assistant's output into something a colleague could use: editing it, combining it and adding original thinking.
