Hi again Jinkster,

You have exactly proved my point in a way. Many questions are incorrectly remembered and contain conflicting or inaccurate answers. but then having accepted that particular risk there is the case that a significant number of questions may not have been covered by feedback.

One other problem with feedback is that you may think you recognise a particular question and not read it. There are questions similar to those in the feedback but written in the negative sense from the one you saw.

All in all, a combination of the above circumstances and suddenly a student who should have passed the exam fails. It is your choice, but the caution here is well meant. My advice is to cover the course notes again, and then check against your feedback, and with any luck you'll now spot the wrongly answered questions before they get you, and you'll be better prepared for when suddenly there isn't the luxury having seen all the questions before.

High Wing et al:

Students can comment on questions on their papers, but challenging the questions directly with the big bosses has to be done through your instructors, within 3 working days of the end of the exam week. The questions thus challenged are reconsidered by the CAA, but often the response is that the question was wrongly remembered and therefore safe. The integrity of the secret question bank will not be conpromised.

Oh well, we all have a cross to bear
