Welcome to the SEC’s Online Marking System
Dear Examiner,
Thank you for accepting an appointment to become an
examiner in a subject being marked online this year.
The online marking software chosen by the State
Examinations Commission is RM Assessor³ by RM Results.
We believe that the online marking software is easy to
use, and suitable for everyone. It also eliminates the time
consuming administrative tasks associated with paper
based marking.
We appreciate that this is a significant change and we are
putting in place a range of supports to assist you in the
transition to online marking. You will be provided with
comprehensive training in using the software.
The level of training provided will depend on your role in
the team. Most of the training will be face to face starting
with this initial briefing session and continuing with
additional attendance at a marking conference in June
or July.
We have also supplemented this with online resources
such as webinars, recorded events and a system
familiarisation module.
This booklet is intended to act as a quick reference guide
to becoming familiar with the software before you attend
the marking conference for training. You will be provided
with your system username and password via e-mail by
the 24th May.

Welcome to the SEC’s Online Marking System
Over the course of the marking, you will also have access
to a help-desk to provide you with back-up and support. To
make sure that we realise the benefits of the system we need
your help and support in letting us know when things are not
right and by providing your feedback.
The SEC very much appreciates your commitment and
willingness to engage in this exciting opportunity to enhance
the efficiency and quality of the marking of the certificate
examinations.
Without the ongoing commitment and hard work of our
examiners, it would not be possible for the SEC to deliver this
important service to our young people.
We hope you enjoy your training and we very much look
forward to working with you in 2019 and beyond.
