Query “Is the value of the qualification affected by the use of the ‘compensatory mark’?
STA response 鈥� 鈥淭he status of the assessment outcome isn鈥檛 affected at all and the pupil鈥檚 results will be just like every other pupil 鈥� either having met or not met the expected standard. The school would see a 鈥榗鈥� next to the GPS paper 2 鈥� just so they know the compensatory marks have been applied and it鈥檚 not a mis-assigned script, for example. But in short 鈥� the qualification is not affected at all.鈥�
