Applicants must have advanced numerical skills with Mathematics or Accounting as a compulsory subject, and second-year and above tertiary students will be given preference. Previous experience in examinations administration as an Examination Assistant (Marking Centre or Office based) should be indicated. The nature of the work requires individuals to be able to work under pressure due to the tight deadlines.
The process of archiving scripts after they have been marked is important. It is necessary to make sure that the correct number of scripts and marksheets are received, controlled, scanned, and packed for the right marking venue. Any discrepancies that arise in this process must be addressed for each batch, subject, paper, and examination session.
Each bag of scripts must contain two copies of the MP Flow control list of contents and be tagged with the correct marking venue color-coded label. A marking center file should be created for all scripts that will be dispatched to each of the marking venues.
TEMPORARY EXAM ASSISTANTS (EA)
The quality assurer at marking centers must receive, control, and distribute the scripts to marking teams, ensuring that the correct number of scripts and marksheet per batch is maintained during marking. They must also assist with controlling, distributing, and scanning scripts, and ensure that all questions are marked, marks added correctly, and transferred to the front cover of the script.
The total on each script must be correct and correctly transferred to the marksheet, and any discrepancies must be addressed by the marking teams and amendments made accordingly on both the script and marksheet.
The process of archiving indexed papers involves marking them numerically. However, those who are taking National Senior Certificate/Senior Certificate and AET Examinations in 2023, those who have completed the VSP, and those who are employed elsewhere are not eligible to apply and will not be considered. If you have any questions, you can contact Mr. Harry Culling at 010 601 8082
