	Using multilevel models to assess the comparability of examinations
		If, for example, girls perform better in an examination than boys at a certain level of the common measure, then the conclusions regarding the comparability of the examinations will be affected by the relative proportion of girls and boys taking the two examinations.
		This is not necessarily the case as it may be that the characteristics of the examinations appeal differently to each gender or it may be that the different social conditions, which the examination is taken, mean that there are different gender effects across the examinations.
		End of course examinations lead to the award of a certificate that is recognised as an equivalent to the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) which is designed for UK candidates and is provided by OCR (which is also part of UCLES).

	The revision of the IELTS speaking test by Nick Boddy
		According to Cambridge, in preparing for their exams, candidates develop skills they need to make practical use of the language, and I would argue by extension that by using the language, whether at work, academically, or socially, candidates are preparing for the exam.
		Until recently examiner training consisted of a self-access pack of a videotape, a training manual, scripts to be graded, and an audiocassette of interviews to be graded.
		New examiners for the revised test will be trained after July 2001, but the first half of the year has been spent on the not inconsiderable task of retraining the cadre of current examiners worldwide.
