I. Recalibration of Marks

Examination marks will be reported to candidates in the form of University Standardised Marks. The object of the USM is to allow direct comparison between the results of examination in different subjects. Examiners may recalibrate raw marks to arrive at the USMs reported to candidates. On each paper, any recalibration of marks should be done without disturbing the order of candidates.  In order to ensure fair treatment examiners are reminded that they may exercise individual consideration in assigning USMs for candidates whose marks lie outside the standard pattern. 

Examiners should take note of the distribution of USMs above 60 and above 70 in the Examination in a normal year and not depart from it without good reason.  Information about the distribution of USMs in the Examination for recent matriculation years will be provided by the Teaching Committee.
 
The USMs reported to candidates for each paper should be symmetrically rounded.
