I did a practice exam question a couple of weeks ago for my english teacher. I spent a good half of the time sneezing, my handwriting was illegible and I knew before I'd even finished that it was without a doubt the worst essay I'd ever written. But when I got it back, I'd got an A... with 17/25. What's the point in even having a standardised grade system if the grade boundaries aren't standardised? My Law exam required 96/120 to get an A. I'm not great at maths but my computer tells me that's a 12 percentage point difference in grades. Hmm.
