It has come to my attention that markers in the examination are only given a short amount of time to marks exam scripts. For example, my Chinese teacher once said that he has only about 1-2 minutes to mark a Chinese Composition. Normally in the national examination, students will tend to write more and write about 3-4 pages for their composition. I feel as if this task of using such a short amount of time to mark the exam scripts is impossible. As even if teachers were to mark this on time, they will not be able to understand the script with details and give a decisive mark that the student is deserving to get. Then, what is the point of national examination if a student is unable to get the marks that he/she is supposed to get for his essay?
Moreover for the Humanities paper, the essay are rather long. most of the examiners in these examination mark by impression and when they feel that the students is meeting the expectation of the LORMS, they will be awarded the marks for the higher level. If a student has meet the requirement, but has written in a summarised and short way, the impression will be gone and the student will be awarded a lower level mark. Does the Ministry of Education take into account with different language abilities, and the ability to write long answer?
If anyone is able to enlighten me, I would be pleased if they are able to post their comments below.
