This article describes a variant comparability methodology which uses the rank-ordering method at component level to derive results at syllabus level for intra-board comparison. In other words, instead of judges holding several components' information about each candidate in their minds and making a holistic evaluation of individual candidates during comparison, judges only rank-order candidates' performance within each prescribed component. The final rank order at syllabus level of each judge is derived based on his/her component level's rank orders.
