Abstract

As more examination papers in general qualifications (GCSEs and A levels) are scanned and marked on screen, the marks on individual questions or question parts are collected automatically, and are referred to as item level data (ILD).The analysis of ILD is available for use in awarding meetings (where the grade boundaries are decided). This article discusses the theoretical rationale for using ILD in awarding, presents some possible formats for displaying data, and suggests ways in which the data could be used in practice.
