Overall, it worked very well and it is recommended that it should be kept in future. Setting and marking All of the papers were prepared in time for the deadline set by the Exam Schools. The Secure Weblearn site worked smoothly. There were no issues with marking deadlines this year and the new timetable made it possible for the Chair, Convenors and administrative staff to check that all paperwork (marksheets, etc.) was available for consultation upon the arrival of the external examiners. Most third readings could be arranged and completed before the start of 11th week. Illegal combinations of options Seven candidates entered for the examination with an illegal combination of subjects. Some of these candidates were able to change their options in time; in the remaining cases the candidate’s college successfully appealed to Education Committee. It is hoped that the new algorithm for students and tutors to check Greats option choices, which has kindly been produced by , will help eliminate illegal combinations of options in future.
