Summary:
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
We have often heard students making wild assertions that the public
examining bodies are their worst enemies. Some, in fact, see the officials of
these public examining bodies as wicked souls scheming day and night to devise
ways of failing them. How correct are these assertions? The facts will speak for
themselves.
The task of setting an examination paper begins long before examination
day. Indeed, months or years before then, seasoned experts in the various
subjects are given the teaching and examination syllabuses and requested to set
questions. These are compiled for subsequent scrutiny. Then a second set of
experts is invited to examine the questions critically, make necessary
modifications and come up with questions that conform with acceptable
standards. The result of this exercise is a set of polished and unambiguous
questions that are very fair to those being examined. These questions are then
securely stored.
The next stage is the registration of candidates. This stage involves not
just the examining body, but also the candidates, their parents, their teachers,
principals and some other members of the public. This is so because apart from
the candidate having to fill in the forms, his principal has to endorse them while
the parents have to provide the registration fee. Any mistake or inaction on the
part of any of these may ruin the candidate’s chances. If, for instance, the
candidate makes a mistake in his choice of subjects or in completing his forms,
or if the principal does not forward the registration fee at the right time, his
chances in the examination may be jeopardized.
Next is the conduct of the examination itself. Again, more officials from
outside the examining body than from within it are involved. Think of the
supervisors, the invigilators, and even the security officials. They are definitely
more in number than the staff of the examining body, and anyone of them could
take an action that might result in the failure of candidates. Take the invigilator
for instance. If he is negligent candidates could swap answer scripts under his
very nose; and when this is detected by the markers, as it often is, the results of
the candidates may be cancelled.
Probably, the most hated person to the candidates is the marker whom
they, in their ignorance, regard as a wicked drunkard who delights in failing
candidates. What candidates do not realize is that an examiner is trained to
score points strictly according to a carefully prepared marking scheme from
which he must not deviate. It is his constitution. Besides, his work is
consistently checked by his team leader and the chief examiner. Should he be
discovered to have marked inaccurately, he could be removed. So, contrary to
candidates’ opinion, the examiner is a seasoned teacher, a careful scorer, a
person always on his guard.

The final stage comes with the collation of results. This stage is mainly
computerized, and computers do not make mistakes. A candidate’s results may
not be processed if he is involved in a mal-practice, has used a wrong
examination number or no number at all, or if he fails to write all the papers that
make up a subject. So, when a result is withheld, the fault is mostly that of the
candidate.
How then should we view the activities of the public examining bodies?
Definitely, we should view them with understanding, sympathy and appreciation.

In one sentence, summarize the writer’s purpose in this passage.
