Each pupil revised his own paper with a second series of marks after definitions were checked against textbook glossaries. The article reports checking "increases only the D's, and diminishes only the N's"; E's increased only in first term pupils.

"In both grades of pupils, checking up as a whole increases only the D's, and diminishes only the N's; the E's are increased only in the first term pupils"
