The extensive discussion, which follows the revealing of the standardisation team’s allocation

of marks .

The standardisation team vets the completed B2 and C2 mark sheets. The acceptable ‘margin

of error’ between the mark allocated by ESB in each assessed category and that allocated by

an OE, has been set as 0.5 higher or lower than the ESB allocation.

After collation of the number of ‘acceptable’ marks for both the B2 and C2 candidates, the

OE is then allocated one of the following grades: satisfactory, in need of improvement,

unsatisfactory.
