what is someone who did maths and english years ago along with other things and then sat back in a job for 15years came on the course, they could be very smart but might struggle in a learning enviorment again!
the exam is there to make sure you can keep up with the pace, after all you dont want to spend your money then have that one guy who is struggleing holding up the whole class every day and then causeing the better students to struggle time wise,,,,, better to have a minimum standard.
I went to London Met,, there very very good,,,, its just mind numbing as those exams are!
