and despatching scripts  \nVideo transcript  \nExams officers  \nYou must send us your candidates’ answer scripts after every exam, or at least once a week. Packing exam scripts  \nWe send you all the materials you need to pack your scripts. This includes bar-coded labels, script packets and despatch labels. We do not give you outer envelopes. Your courier usually provides them.  \nInvigilators must collect all answer scripts before candidates leave the exam room, sort the answer scripts into the order shown on the attendance register. Check that they have all the answer scripts and that candidates have used the correct centre and candidate numbers, and then hand the answer scripts to you, the exams officer, to pack and despatch.  \nRemember, answer scripts are confidential. Do not read or photocopy any of them before despatch.  \nCheck the scripts against the attendance register to make sure the information on the attendance register matches the answer scripts you are about to pack.  \nDo not send anything else apart from attendance registers with your scripts. Send any other documentation, such as special consideration or malpractice forms, separately from your scripts.  \nPack the scripts in candidate order into the relevant script packet. Pack the scripts for different components into different script packets.  \nIf you have lots of entries for a particular exam, you may need to pack the scripts into more than one script packet.  \nSelect the right bar-coded label. The bar-coded labels are in timetable date order and the component name and number on the label must match the component name and number on the answer scripts in the packet.  \nAttach the bar-coded label to the front of the packet.  \nWe will give you the necessary number of bar-coded labels. Pack the scripts so they match the candidate number range on the label.  \nIf you are missing a bar-coded label, write your centre number, the syllabus and component number, and the number of scripts on the front of the script packet.  \nIf you cannot fit your scripts into one packet to match the bar-coded label candidate range, use two or more packets and tape themtogether. Place the bar-coded label on the top packet and include the attendance register in this packet. Do not split the attendance register.  \nDo not write anything on the bar-coded label. Do not cover the bar-coded label with any tape, other labels or anything that may damage or obscure it in any way.  \nSecurely fasten the script packet.  \nWe scan the bar-coded labels when your script packets arrive, to tell us which scripts are in the packet. We use this information to get your scripts to the right examiner as soon as possible, so make sure you pack the correct scripts with the correct label.  \nNow pack your script packet into an outer envelope and seal securely. You can pack more than one script packet into the outer envelope.  \nDepending on the number of script packets, you may need to pack them in a bigger parcel or box. If you use more than one outer package, please indicate on the front how many you are sending, for example, ‘one of three’, ‘two of three’, ‘three of three’.  \nFor the safety of those handling your packages, please make sure they are secure and do not weigh more than 15 kilograms each. Just in case they get lost, do not pack all the scripts for an entire syllabus into one parcel.  \nAttach the despatch label to the front of the outer envelope.  \nDespatching scripts  \nYou should send your scripts to us on a daily basis as soon as each exam has finished. As a minimum, you should send regular despatches at least once a week. Keep your scripts in your secure storage before sending them.  \nSend your scripts using a method that provides a tracking facility. Keep a record of your tracking number and the contents ofthe despatch, so you can check on the progress of your parcel.  \nPlease complete our script return form for each despatch so we can track your despatch as well.  \nSend your parcels to our addr","cbCaigK1Q2HzuFfU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigK1Q2HzuFfU","pdf",31062,"English","# Packing exam scripts\n## Collect, sort, and verify answer scripts\n## Label selection and packet packing\n## Missing labels and packet splitting rules\n## Secure fastening and outer envelopes/parcels\n# Despatching scripts\n## Daily/weekly dispatch timing and secure storage\n## Tracking, records, and return forms\n## Delivery address and labeling requirements","[{\"question\":\"When must exam officers send candidate answer scripts?\",\"answer\":\"Scripts must be sent daily as soon as each exam has finished, and at minimum sent regular despatches at least once a week.\"},{\"question\":\"What must invigilators do before scripts are packed and despatched?\",\"answer\":\"Invigilators must collect all answer scripts before candidates leave, sort them into the order shown on the attendance register, check completeness and correct centre/candidate numbers, then hand them to the exams officer to pack and despatch.\"},{\"question\":\"What labeling and packing rules apply to bar-coded labels?\",\"answer\":\"Select the correct bar-coded label matching the component name and number, attach it to the front of the packet (without writing on it or covering it), pack scripts so they match the label’s candidate number range, and include the attendance register in the top packet if multiple packets are needed.\"}]","Packing and despatching scripts - Secure exam answer script handling and delivery instructions | PDF",1792721579]
