Marking examinations with a pen on paper has changed. OSM is what schools, colleges, universities and examination bodies now choose. It is accurate, simple, secure and efficient.
Innovation in scanner technology captures your paper answer scripts and sends them electronically to your selected examiners to be marked on screen. On screen marking (OSM) adds up the examiners marks and provides the total exam scores automatically.Your examiner can write comments and annotations during their marking. OSM speeds up the marking and results publication process with no margin for error.
