3 Annex 2 Use of Barcode Labels on Answer Scripts and the New Design of Answer Books / Supplementary Answer Sheets Use of barcode labels on answer scripts In order to enhance reliability and efficiency in the processing of examination scripts, barcodes are used to identify individual candidates answer scripts and multiple-choice answer sheets, which will be scanned before marking. Each candidate will be issued with a sheet of personalised barcode labels at the examination centre, prior to the start of each examination session. The candidate s name will be printed on top of the barcode sheet and each barcode label will show the candidate number, centre number, seat number and subject/paper name. Candidates should make sure that they occupy the correct seat and are given the correct barcode sheet. Any irregularities should be reported to the invigilator immediately. A3 answer sheets, folded in the form of A4 answer books, will be used to facilitate scanning. For conventional papers, candidates should write their candidate number and affix a barcode label in the designated space on the cover and inner pages of answer books and question-answer books, supplementary answer sheets and graph paper used. For multiple-choice papers, candidates should write their candidate number and name, sign and then affix a barcode label in the designated space on the MC answer sheet. If a candidate makes a mistake with the labels or needs extra labels, he/she should summon an invigilator and follow the invigilator s instructions accordingly. At the end of the examination, invigilators will collect the barcode label sheets separately. Candidates are not permitted to remove any unused labels from the examination centre; otherwise, they may receive a mark penalty. Use of Barcode Labels on Answer Scripts and the New Design of Answer Books / Supplementary Answer Sheets 24

4 New design of answer books / supplementary answer sheets The question numbers on individual pages of the answer books / supplementary answer sheets will be captured electronically. There will be a question number box on the margin of each page. Candidates have to put a X in the appropriate box. You can use either a pen or a pencil to fill in the question number box. If you use a pencil and have made a mistake when completing the question number box, you should completely erase the wrong marks with a clean rubber. If you use a pen, you may either erase the wrong mark with correction fluid / correction pen or cross it out clearly as in the example below:- Unless otherwise specified on the question paper, you should start each full question (not part of a question) on a new page. If a question consists of several parts (say question number 1 consists of parts a, b and c), fill in the question number box as question number 1. Note Do not tamper with the barcode labels (e.g. folding, scratching of the labels, staining by correction fluid). Remember to fill in the question number box on each page of the answer book / supplementary answer sheet on which you have written any answers. 25 Use of Barcode Labels on Answer Scripts and the New Design of Answer Books / Supplementary Answer Sheets

6 Annex 3 How Appeal Applications are Handled Appeal Period The deadline for submission of appeals is 7 days after the release of examination results. Types of Appeal Rechecking only Scripts and score sheets are rechecked for technical errors such as arithmetical errors, wrong mark entries and unmarked pages. Candidates may not apply for full appeal for subjects for which they have applied for rechecking only, regardless of the results of rechecking. Applications are processed on a subject basis only. Full appeal The scripts and score sheets of the candidate will first be checked for technical errors. The scripts will then be remarked. All scripts will be remarked twice, unless the mark in the first remarking is the same as the original mark. Efforts are made to ensure that the scripts are remarked by persons other than the original marker. Remarking is not applicable to papers under the School-based Assessment Scheme, projects, multiple-choice, oral and practical papers. Applications are processed on a subject basis only, except for Chinese Language, English Language and Putonghua. For Chinese Language, English Language and Putonghua, appeal applications may be made on a subject or component basis. For applications on a component basis in these three subjects, the scripts and score sheets of other components of that subject will also be re-checked for technical errors. Application Procedures Candidates may apply for rechecking only and/or full appeal for up to a total of four subjects. Appeal for one or more components of a subject is counted as one subject. School candidates Applications should be submitted through schools. Normally, the internal result of the candidate should be at least one grade higher than the examination result. Otherwise, schools will have to give reasons to support the applications. Private candidates Private candidates may submit their applications to the Authority directly giving supporting reasons. Appeal Fee Candidates should pay the required fee at the time of application. If the appeal leads to an upgrade of result, the appeal fee will be refunded to the candidate. 27 Appeals

7 Results of Appeal After the appeal scripts have been remarked, a special committee of the HKEAA (chaired by the Secretary General) will meet to study all the appeal applications and decide which cases meet the upgrading criteria laid down by the Public Examinations Board. Upgrading The subject/component result will be upgraded only if the new mark reaches a specified margin above the minimum cut-off score of the next higher grade/level, rather than just attaining the minimum cut-off score of the next higher grade/level. Since there is an element of subjectivity in marking, especially for questions of an open-ended nature, it is quite possible that even the same marker remarking the same script will give a different score. The criterion is not applicable to technical errors for which even a one-mark difference will be accepted for upgrading. Downgrading There is no downgrading as a result of the processing of appeals. Release of Appeal Results The time for release of the results of rechecking is approximately two weeks after the deadline for submission. The results of full appeal will be released on 28 August 2009 (Friday). All candidates will be informed in writing of their appeal results (i.e. whether or not the appeal has led to an upgrade). Tertiary institutions will also be informed of the upgraded results at the same time. Application for Appeal Review Candidates who are in doubt of the rechecking/remarking process may apply for appeal review. Cases of appeal review will be dealt with by the independent Appeal Review Committee (see Annex 5). Appeals 28

8 Annex 4 How Candidates Complaints are Handled Candidates may lodge a complaint if they are not satisfied with anything in the examination or find anything that deviates from the normal examination procedures. How to lodge a complaint Candidates may lodge a complaint with the Centre Supervisor at the examination centre and request him/her to report it to the HKEAA. The complainants and other candidates concerned may be required to fill in a report after the examination session has ended. Alternatively, they may make use of the specified electronic form on the HKEAA website ( HKCEE Report on Examination Irregularities), or write directly to the Manager (CE), School Examinations and Assessment Division of the HKEAA by post, fax or within two weeks (on or before 6 July for English/Putonghua oral) after the date of the examination. Complaints lodged beyond the deadline will normally not be accepted. Candidates should provide their name, candidate number, examination centre, date of the examination and other specific information relating to the cause of complaint. Anonymous complaints will NOT be entertained. Complaint Handling Procedures All complaints are dealt with by a Standing Committee of the HKEAA (chaired by the Secretary General/Deputy Secretary General). (Note: Members of the Committee must not be personally involved in the cases under complaint.) The Standing Committee meets regularly during the examination period and conducts investigation of individual cases. Depending on the nature and circumstances of individual cases, the Committee will contact the Centre Supervisors, invigilators and/or other candidates in the same centre in the process of investigation. The Committee will also check the candidates scripts and perform statistical analysis in relation to the cases as appropriate. For straightforward cases, the Committee will take action in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Public Examinations Board (PEB) and inform candidates concerned of the outcome before the release of examination results. Candidates who do not agree with the Committee s conclusion on their cases should write to the HKEAA within one week upon receipt of the notification. The Committee will forward the cases to the PEB for consideration/decision. For more complicated cases involving imposition of sanctions or special consideration, the Committee will compile reports with recommendations for consideration by the PEB. The PEB will examine the reports carefully and make a decision on the cases. Normally, the decision of the PEB will be conveyed to the candidates concerned at the time of the release of examination results. 29 Candidates Complaints
