• As part of the Board’s ongoing plan to increase the use of computers and technology in exams, some markers will use ‘on-screen marking’, where they receive student responses and record the mark via the internet. This will apply to parts of the General Mathematics, Information Processes and Technology, Business Studies, Mathematics, Modern Hebrew, Vietnamese and some other language examinations.
• Approximately 10 percent of this year’s HSC marking and 15 percent of this year’s School Certificate marking will be done by markers on-screen. This is a separate initiative to the Board’s longstanding use of computers to scan and mark multiple-choice and some short-answer questions.
