  • If the difference is greater than 10 marks, the answer sheet of Part B will be examined by a third expert (and so on until the difference of marks is less than or equal to 10).

  • A simple average of the closest of two evaluations will be selected as the final score

  • If the difference in marks of the closest of two evaluations is greater than 10 after several evaluations, a moderator will be invited to examine the answers
