The Director of the CLP Examination Mr. Muniandy Kannyappan: The LPQB’s foremost consideration is the integrity of the examination and it always acts in the interest of the candidates. It had decided that candidates who score 35% to 39% are entitled to have their answer scripts remarked by a second marker. This again ensures that the candidate is in fact given a chance to pass the examination (the passing mark being 40%) of that subject if he or she deserves so. The marks given are not erasable as the first marker marks in red ink and the second marker marks in green ink.

To ensure that the marks tally, the marks given by the markers for all the questions answered by the candidate is counted again by the staff of the office of the LPQB. They will recount the marks given by the markers to ensure its accuracy. This will also ensure that the marks are not left miscounted or not counted at all. If any mistakes are detected as to the counting of the marks the answer scripts are sent back to the markers responsible to be corrected with an endorsement by them that it is accurate. As such there is no alteration of marks by the office of the Director of the CLP examination.

When the answer scripts are sent for remarking, there will be two (2) sets of marks. The best of the marks is given to the candidate. The test is truly for the benefit of the candidate and it is never the LPQB’s intention to go out of the way to fail them.

A second meeting with the setters and markers for all the five (5) CLP subjects is held wherein the marks given by the markers are tabled for a discussion. A discussion will ensue as to the fairness of the questions posed in the examination, the answers offered by the candidates, the quality and accuracy of the answers, the trend of performance of the candidates. This is pertinent for the following reasons:

• to enable the Chief Paper setter to put up an examiner’s report to the LPQB;

• to improve on the questions if necessary for the examination in future;

• to insist that everything is done above board and there is transparency ensured in the conduct of the examination and marking of the answer scripts in particular;

• the foremost consideration is to maintain the integrity of the CLP examination conducted by the LPQB.
