BOSTES is continuing to expand the use of personalised examination materials that are pre-printed with a student’s number, centre number and, generally, their name.
Personalised examination materials reduces work for students during the examination, and allows greater efficiency in identification when answer booklets are scanned for processing and onscreen marking.
Depending on the examination, students may be given a personalised:
- multiple-choice answer sheet
- question/answer booklet
- writing booklet
