All Parents of PT3 Students - Technical Checking of PT3 Scores Exercise Scheduled on 17 November 2015
Kindly be informed that the Exam Board has asked schools to carry out a technical checking exercise on 17 November 2015. This technical checking of PT3 scores exercise is an effort to reduce error in the totaling of scores for the Written PT3 tests. Schools may allow PT3 students to view and check their grand total of each subject score, making sure that it is calculated accurately based on the section totals. Students are not allowed to check the answer scripts themselves. Only raw scores (not grades) can be verified at this point.
However, the school’s Verification Committee (Examination Secretary and all PT3 subject teachers) have opted to double check the written test scores themselves due to two reasons:
1. The schedule for score moderation exercise by external assessors was different for every subject. As of 17 November 2015, the moderation exercise had not been completed and therefore Technical Checking could not be carried out on 17 November.
2. Students were not present because the school had officially closed before the scheduled date for technical checking on 17 November 2015.
Please note
that the school’s Verification Committee has conducted the checking on each
subject scores to ensure that the purpose of technical checking is met.
Happy holidays and we look forward to seeing you on 14 December 2015 during the official release of the PT3 results.
