With immediate effect, you must ensure that a minimum of two candidates per mode and level for each assessor are sampled.
As with any sampling process, there may be a need to increase the sample if there is reason for concern, to ensure the Edexcel mark scheme is being uniformly applied.
Please note that a separate ‘Pass List and External Verifier Sampling Report’ must be completed for
each assessor.
