The 2011-12 guidance is currently being revised to take into account recent operational changes. There are, however, a couple of things that the Board of Examinations would like to emphasise at this stage:

1. Caution at exam boards when transposing exam paper marks;
2. The supervisor (not the examiner) is in charge of the exam including the end of the exam when scripts are being sorted and collected.

The 2012-13 guidance is available here: Examiners' guide 2012/13
