Step 4: Update Answers to Questions with Three Correct Answers

First marker updates all answers to questions with 3 correct answers on grade spreadsheet from '1.3' or '2.6' to '1' or '2' respectively, this can be done using find and replace on Excel. The spreadsheet now contains all the correct marks. Note: answers are not updated on Digiexam.

When using find and replace, ensure you copy the exact number directly from the cell This ensures the replacement is accurate, as Excel will only replace the number if it matches exactly, including all decimals.

Step 5: Moderation through Digiexam

Moderator reviews sample of exams (referring to 'Student 1' 'Student 2' etc.). Note: the scoring on Digiexam is not going to be correct for questions with 3 correct answers. However, a key can be used to let the moderator know what '1.3' and '2.6' refer to. They can also access the correct marks of all students on the grade spreadsheet v2.

If no issues are found, marking is complete.

If any issues are identified, the moderator will notify the first marker and review the relevant exams directly in Digiexam. If marks need adjustment, the moderator will compile a list of affected students and their corrected scores. Once moderation is complete, this list is passed to the first marker, who will update the marks accordingly in Digiexam

Step 6: Remove student anonymisation 

PSS locates the exam in the Graded section of Digiexam, and removes anonymisation.
