The spring examination is over, and next comes the transcription, followed by review.
This is a crucial step; not a single mistake can be made.
The first step is sealing. The exams are assembled into booklets of fifty people each, with names obscured and serial numbers added sequentially.
Serial numbers start from the first exam and proceed in order.
Once compiled, the name section is sealed with wax. If opened, any tampering will be evident, making it easy to identify.
The second step is transcription.
Since the names are sealed, those transcribing cannot see whose exam it is, nor do they need to know; they just need to copy the content exactly as it appears.
This is a large task, so several clerks are assigned to carry it out.
The third step is the review.
Then comes organizing, naming, posting, etc.
This process will take more than half a month.
