Exams aren’t getting any harder to take – but the pressure on young students is | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
Examinations are stressful, and can be extremely challenging – this is undeniable. I always found that the most hair-raising part of the examination season was the space of time following the exam when everyone gathered in the common room and compared their answers.

couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by an A-level student with some questions about studying English at university.

Most of them were fairly standard, but his final query stuck with me. It was about marking at university, and whether there was some respite from the infamous tick-box exercise of humanities at school.
