Important documents for the grading:
Only the head teacher (for pupils) and the county council (for private trainees and those with an apprenticeship in a company) can decide whether the candidate has cheated, cf. Section 9-42 of the Education Regulations. If the examiner suspects that the candidate has cheated on the exam, the examiner must report this to the county authority responsible for the subject. The examiner must grade the submission based on the rules for assessment in the Regulations to the Education Act.

Information about access to the PAS exam will be sent to the examiner by e-mail in connection with the appointment letter.
Answers
All submissions must be digital in PAS. Either by writing directly into the new exam and test system, or by scanning and uploading submissions to PAS.
Set character proposal
The examiners must individually register their mark proposals in the PAS exam for all answers, before they, in consultation with the co-examiner, agree on and register a final grade.
Set final grade
Only when both examiners have set their grade proposals and confirmed in PAS - Exam, they will be able to see each other's grade proposals and set the final grade. This can be done either by phone or by the examiners meeting. Joint grading sessions are not held. If the examiners agree to meet and this requires travel, this must be agreed in advance with the client. The final grade is entered in the PAS exam. Only the second examiner has access to register the final grade.
Disagreement about grading
If the examiners do not agree on a final grade, the second examiner makes the decision, cf. Section 9-33 of the Education Regulations.
Missing answer
If an answer is missing from a candidate who is listed as having participated in the PAS exam, the examiner must contact the relevant school/county council. Contact information will be available in the PAS exam.
Censorship deadline
The censorship deadline is stated in the assignment letter and must be observed. You will also see the deadline for setting the final grade in PAS when you are logged in.

As an assignment producer, you must familiarize yourself with the Framework for locally administered written exams. You will need training in the examination and test system. The responsible county council will provide training and guidance, but you should also be expected to train yourself by working in the system. Udir has prepared a competence package for training in the exam and test system, which can be found by following this link: All open courses (instructure.com) In addition, assignment developers can make use of Udir's knowledge database. This can be found by following this link: Kunnskapsdatabasen - Kunnskapsdatabasen for eksamens- og prøvesystemet - Confluence (udir.no)
