Same marks – different grades

More bad press for GCSEs:

Pupils scoring the same marks in the GCSE maths exam have been awarded different grades under a new marking method, teachers have found.

Sue Fishburn, headteacher of the independent Leeds Girls' High School, where the anomaly was discovered, said that it was "patently ridiculous".

Perhaps the examiners ought to take an exam in exam-setting.
