Abstract
A pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibilityand reliability of undergraduate medical student selfmarkingof degree written examinations, and to survey studentopinion regarding the process. The correlation between studentand faculty staff scores for individual questions and the totalexamination was high (correlation coefficient ranged from 0.77to 0.91: p < 0.001). There were no significant differencesbetween the mean student and mean faculty staff scores for individualquestions or the total examination: 98% (97199) ofstudent scores fell within ± 15% of the faculty staff score, with92% (91199) of students falling within ± 10%. Although theapproach was demonstrated to be reliable, students generallyfailed to acknowledge the potential value of self-marking interms of feedback and as a learning opponunity, and found theprocess stressful.
