Are the assessors incentivised to award zero points?
genuine question. I’ve not even had my assessment yet but I’ve read so many accounts of people saying the assessors reports contain inaccuracies (in words stronger than that!) even when the assessment was recorded that it makes me wonder why? Could it be that the assessors are incentivised to score low? Does anyone know?
