General information
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority is seeking applications for the position of 2023 EST marker.

About the EST – Information for markers
Markers will attend a training meeting on either Monday, 3 July or Tuesday, 4 July (first week of the July school holidays). Markers will be informed of training meeting times at appointment. Initial marking of the ESTs will occur in the first week of the July holidays (Monday, 3 July to Sunday, 9 July) and is completed online. The number of scripts to be marked will depend on the number of students enrolled in that course and the number of EST scripts requested. Some markers will be employed as both initial and final markers to reconcile any EST mark which differs greatly from the school mark. This final marking will be completed in the second week of the holidays (Monday, 10 to Sunday, 16 July). Check your appointment email to determine if you are required as a final marker.

Markers will be paid $72.50 per hour to attend training and $7.75 per script marked.
