Explain why they set the Higher Maths Exam to an impossible level

The Issue

Students, teachers and parents alike are in disbelief at the exam set by the SQA for Higher Maths. It bore no resemblance to the CFE course studied and specimen papers provided. The general consensus is that the majority of questions were so hard the students weren't able to solve them. The SQA should be investigated as this is an outrage. Pupils have put so much preparation into this subject and have now been left traumatised. The knock on effect is fear of subsequent exams and the possibility of not gaining access to the university course they have worked so hard for.

They have to reduce the pass mark for this exam or take into account the marks attained on NABS throughout the year!

 

Don't let them away with this!!!

Please sign and share/tweet. The more people that make a stand on this the better chance we have of being listened to.
