WE) ,cl the level (eg. ‘O’ or lA! level).

2. E

There were threemodes of examination:

Node One: the syllabuswaa drawnUP and the erardmationset and

markadby the board.

Node Two: the syllabuawaa drawnup by the school,but the

examinationset and markad by the board.

Mode Three: the syllabuawas &awn up by the school,and the

examinationset and marked by the school,but moderatedby the

boaxd.

Modes * and three were most connumlyused for CSE, but there wera a few such

schemesfor GCE ‘Ot level. However,it waa apparentthat many echoolei-red

this item for exams other than CSW. It will be seen that a sepmate code ie

uaad for ‘modenot given!,but it iE likelythat almostall of those will fn

fad be Mode One.
