Craappiboy SG

question in title. as you know, we learn that a person's view may be biased and hence, if the essay i write at the national exam going to be marked by just 1 person, den i think it is very unfair.

so anyone knows how many people mark 1 essay arh? for example the english language essay?

There should be at least 2 to ensure fairness.

But imagine you have tens of thousands of scripts, and each script must be read twice, how long is that going to take?

If score differ by too much, 3rd marker will come and mark.
