how late can you be examined?
July 22nd, 2004
The BBC are running a news item, Apology over delayed test results, regarding the late return of Key Stage 3 test results to 13 and 14 year olds.
When I saw the title of this news item, I actually thought it was about the University of Sussex, or more specifically my department. So while test results might not be that important to 13 and 14 year olds, final year results for degree students have yet to be distributed, despite the fact that they officially came out last friday, because they ‘haven’t decided how to give the break down of marks to students’.
Of course, had I been thinking straight I would have known that the BBC article in question wouldn’t have been about Sussex, because not in a million years would a Sussex student receive any apology, or even any notification (without asking for it) that there is a delay in returning results.
