AI examiner · Follow-up question

AI examiners mark every exam, and while the Examination Board has not approved automatic release, a person reviews each result before you see it. People decide every appeal. Read the technical manual

How marking and sign-off work

Three AI examiners mark your work independently, and a majority sets each score. 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 a named person countersigns your result because you hold this one for life. 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.
