2.     Does the moderation sample reflect the full range of marks, markers,
       programmes?


3.     Does the marking conform to the marking scheme?


4.     Does the marking conform to the verified assessment criteria?


5.     Are the marking decisions consistent?


6.     Are there any recurring themes, patterns, discrepancies?


7.     Have any concerns been resolved with the marker(s)?

       If yes, what actions have been taken?




I have checked the marking of the items in this sample and confirm that the verified
assessment and marking criteria have/have not (delete one) been accurately,
consistently and fairly applied.

I do/do not (delete one) confirm the marks for all students who have taken this
assessment.
