The ICE booklet places the onus on us to ensure that the front of script is completed when it is collected. (see below) In the past an occasional script was found to be anonymous at the packing stage and placed in the order of the attendance sheet because we had a record that the candidate was present. In another case, we had a candidate who on looking at the paper walked out. The blank paper was sent off, marked as present and a separate report made to the AB. ICE Section 18. Collecting scripts Invigilators must: * collect all the scripts/objective test sheets before candidates are allowed to leave the examination room; * check that there is a script/objective test sheet for every candidate marked as present on the attendance register; * check that the names on the scripts match the details on the attendance register; * put the scripts/objective test sheets in the order shown on the attendance register; * check that candidates have used their correct centre and candidate numbers; * give the scripts/objective test sheets to the person responsible for despatching them to examiners/awarding bodies; Chris Hemming Examinations Officer Hills Road Sixth Form College | Cambridge CB2 8PE Direct line 01223 278027 | Fax 01223 278070 | [log in to unmask] From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Elaine Monks Sent: 13 January 2011 11:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: exam attendance - naughty candidate OK - tricky one which I have not come across before. It turns out we had a rather devious candidate at PSYA1 exam yesterday as he made sure he was witnessed in the exam location and even sat at his allocated exam desk for the entire exam duration, but he failed to complete the front of his q&a booklet or even attempt any of the questions. The invigilators (rightly?) marked him as present on the register, yet failed to see that the candidate was handing in a blank script at the end (I can only guess due to the high number of candidate sitting, they were focussing on numbers of papers, rather than the content of the papers -still to address this with the invigilators concerned). After alerting the lecturer to this, the lecturer has double checked with some candidates from the same class that he was indeed there. The candidate has got suspicious of this, so is now saying to the lecturer that he did attempt the QP and did put his name and candidate number on the front. We know he is lying, and that he will complain in March that he has received no result, then accuse us of losing his script. What I want to know is what is the official line on this in terms of the attendance register and the scripts matching up - I actually have instructed to my guy collating the scripts to overwrite the register so it shows as absent against this candidate as we are not returning anything to AQA. I am hoping that as the candidate has not signed the front of the QP to authorise his attendance, he has voided himself from the exam - what do you think?
