person who sets or marks exams

A person who gives exams or checks exam papers to see how good a student is.

Tipar de utilizare: [someone] is an examiner in [a subject]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "examiner" with "examinee". The *examiner* is the person who gives or marks the exam, and the *examinee* (or *candidate*) is the person who takes the exam. Some learners also use "teacher" when they really mean the official person who marks standardized or national exams; in that case, "examiner" is more accurate.
Sinonime
assessor (Often used in education or training; focuses on judging performance rather than on formal written exams only.) | tester (More general and informal; can be used for machines or products, not just people taking exams.) | examiner (marker) (In some contexts 'marker' is used instead of 'examiner' to stress the job of marking scripts, especially in British English.)
Antonime
candidate (The candidate is the person taking the exam, in contrast to the examiner, who evaluates it.) | examinee (A more technical word for the person being tested, the opposite role to the examiner.)
Colocații

official inspector or investigator

A person with an official job to look at things very carefully, like money records, dead bodies, or new inventions, to check facts or follow rules.

Tipar de utilizare: [someone] works as a [type of] examiner
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think "examiner" is only used for school exams. In law, business, and government, "examiner" often means an official inspector, such as a medical examiner or bank examiner. Do not confuse a "medical examiner" with a regular doctor; the medical examiner usually investigates deaths for legal reasons.
Sinonime
inspector (Very close in meaning; often used for people who check safety, quality, or standards, not only in exams.) | auditor (Used mainly for financial records; a type of examiner who checks accounts.) | investigator (Stresses the searching and fact-finding part of the role, especially in legal or criminal cases.)
Antonime
subject (The person or thing being examined, as opposed to the examiner who performs the examination.) | examinee (When the examiner is testing or checking a person, the examinee is the one being tested, the opposite role.)
