Might find the process bringing out the gambler in some students! If it were me, I think I would have taken the easy route and been pleasantly surprised by my predicted grade so not needed to sit the exam... but there would definitely have been a bit of fight in me to do better. It's an interesting situation! And a complete head wreck.

What portion of your ranking/grades would you say is due to your professional judgement and what portion would be down to cold hard stats like class tests, house exams etc....again if you don't mind me asking? Are you printing the forms out and signing them?

jimmytwotimes 2013 wrote: » There's not much to the forms. The work is in gathering your data, making a spreadsheet and ranking your class. Predicting grades then, I went through marking schemes again for each student considering what they knew and how they wud be marked, that took a good while. The forms are only Name, Number, Subject, Level, School Roll Number Few tick boxes, only thing to watch for is special accommodation and bonus marks for answering thro Irish. This will be the less tedious part of the job, I hope
