Exam Paper Mistakes

from The Report · host BBC Radio 4

On 7 June, after discovering six exam paper errors, the examination regulator OFQUAL wrote to all the examination boards to ask them to double check the remaining exam papers to make sure there were no more errors. The boards replied assuring the regulator that thorough quality checks had been done to "make sure there are no undetected errors in the remaining papers". The regulator then made a public statement to students that "everything that can be done has been done to prevent any further errors on question papers". Following this statement, four more errors were discovered. Ten mistakes in total, affecting up to 100,000 students. The Report asks what is going on with the UK exam system and how can students be reassured that in August they will get the grades that they deserve?
