Abstract

The article focuses on the concerns of British examination boards about social media backlash if they set harder test questions for students. Topics include sensitivity of the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) to social media complaints and predictable examination questions that lack challenges in familiar and unfamiliar contexts. Also noted are regulatory requirements on limiting marks.
