The majority of recordings are only listened to by the examiner. If they are not confident about a score, they might listen to it during the 5 minutes of extra time they have between candidates.
However, there are 2 other situations when someone else will listen to it.
First, when a student pays to have a remarked test.
Second, about 5% of every examiners tests are marked by a senior examiner to make sure the examiner is doing a good job. If the examiner has given a different score to the senior examiner they will have to retrain. if they do it twice, they will lose their job.
