This may already be a thread so merge if needed.
Unis are now contemplating entrance exams to sort the wheat from the chaf on entrance levels.
Teachers grading their own students was never a good idea and hmg using an independent body right back last year seems now to have been the better of two evils.
A few were miss marked and an appeals process was available but bottom line the woke won and now 1000s of students are going to be even more in the dark.
Not the best synopsis but the gist is there I hope.

I have two kids, one waiting for her A level results ( to claim her place at Uni) & a son waiting for GCSE results to claim his place in 6th form-
Both are due next week(10th & 12th August respectively)my guess is if they get the grades that they want / need they will be pretty miffed if they suddenly find that they have to sit additional exams to proceed, however if they dont get them then they will probably be grateful for another chance.

Prometric testing is the future

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

A lot of Unis have been doing this for years asking people to take test exam before it's not new.

I don't see what the issue is if the students are as skilled as the grades claim they should have no problems.

A lot of youngsters got a easy ride with the teachers grading them it should of never happened if uni students could of continued to study using distance learning so could these children.
