Thousands of UK students have complained to the A-Level examinations board via a Facebook page about exam questions they felt to be too difficult.
Claiming the exam paper failed to stick to the syllabus, more than 10,000 of the 20,000-odd students that sat the exam joined the protest on the popular social network. The board issued a statement saying it was “aware of the concern amongst some candidates for this examination that the exam has not allowed them to fully demonstrate their understanding and abilities.”
“We will take account of these concerns when marking the exam,” it added. “The concerns will also be considered at the awarding meeting where we make final decisions regarding the award of grades.”

Does this mean the imperial Brits will reduce themselves to scaling or do systemic defects exist within the system.
