Educators involved in the PSLE marking said the new system has greatly reduced the time taken to carry out certain marking processes.
Today, the PSLE and locally marked Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education examinations are marked online. About 450,000 scripts are marked locally every year. SEAB introduced the OSM system in 2019. With the OSM system, markers will practise marking for the set of questions that they are assigned to after the standardisation meeting. So with a quicker standardisation process, markers can begin assessing earlier.
Mr Chew Mun Wai, 49, who has been a chief marker for the PSLE for the past five years, said the new system is not as labour-intensive. “All this involved a lot of mental energy. We had to make sure that the scripts are always intact, the right number of scripts are in each pack, and then undersign on these things.”
