Seeds of Doubt: Learning lessons from item level marking

Abstract

This paper proposes a multilevel model which could be used to compare marking reliability between seed marked items and between seed marked units. It is hoped that the output from the model might promote the sharing of good practice and allow AQA to present a more unified approach to the design of mark schemes and items.
