Exam results: 'Mocks aren't a fair way to decide grades'
It's not a standardised process even within the school, let alone the country as a whole.
This expectation of some errors, or more than would be expected in the final exam, could mean that mocks are not reflective of the highest ability of a student.One teacher told me they had their"head in their hands" over the government's change of plan. "In one department, which is under scrutiny from college management due to recent results", the teacher said,"they took the decision to inflate their grades for political reasons."
This shows how different teachers approach mocks - some mark with the benefit of the doubt, others mark very harshly. In the final exam, I feel like there is not the same spectrum of leniency.
