The article reports on the findings of the study on the reliability of on-screen marking of essay examinations conducted by Cambridge Assessment in Cambridge, England. The study found out that despite the stressful procedure of electronic assessment, it is considered as a reliable test similar to paper-based assessment. The researchers suggest that there is a need for further studies to determine extra effort employed in electronic assessment will lead to inconsistency. INSET: On the mark.
