Some students while answering questions and sub-questions do not follow sequence of questions and answers. While checking such answer scripts examiners commit errors and take longer time in evaluation. The present investigators developed questions and their answers in both sequential and non-sequential form. These were given a group of examiners including male and female, humanities and science post graduate pre-service teachers (B.Ed.). Subject matter was more and more based on General Knowledge of class VIII standard. It was found that (i) in same time frame the non-sequenced answers give rise to more checking errors (ii) no. of errors arising in checking sequenced and non-sequenced answers are highly correlated. (iii) the checking errors so committed do not depend significantly on examiners’ gender and subject of study in higher education.
