Marking Annotation

The marking annotation feature allows markers to manually assign marks to candidates while using tools like tick symbols and text boxes. This system is designed to enable markers to provide detailed explanations for the marks awarded, promoting transparency and clarity in the grading process.

Note: Marking annotations can only be accessed once the answer booklet is imported.
