The written papers will be marked by the team of examiners at the ATC before the Practical and Oral Examinations are conducted. All three examiners, and any Probationary Examiner, will each mark every paper independently. Once the marking is complete, the marks for the Senior Examiner, the Farriery Examiner, and the Veterinary Examiner will be called over.

If there is a discrepancy of more than three (3) marks in any one question between the three examiners a moderation discussion will take place, and if necessary the paper will be remarked until the marks are within three (3). The marks from each examiner are then added up and divided by three to produce an aggregate out of 100. This is then halved to produce a score out of 50.
