6.4 Internal Standardisation of Marking (Route T only)

Centres must standardise marking within the centre to make sure that all candidates at the centre have been marked to the same standard. One person must be responsible for internal standardisation. This person should sign the Centre Declaration Sheet to confirm that internal standardisation has taken place.

Internal standardisation involves:

• all teachers marking some trial pieces of work and identifying differences in marking standards
• discussing any differences in marking at a training meeting for all teachers involved in the assessment
• referring to reference and archive material such as previous work or examples from AQA's teacher standardising meetings.
