You have to remember that in exams people are writing from memory under intense conditions... In the real world, they use word documents etc so Im sure that wouldnt be a major problem....quote:Originally posted by pussycatj:quote:Originally posted by pretty~cocoa~eyes:But people are nervous...quote:Originally posted by pussycatj:quote:Originally posted by pretty~cocoa~eyes:
I dont think examiners mark down for spelling mistakes...
No they don't, but I personally think it's wrong.
I know they are PCE, but you can carry on and get a degree or whatever, but how are they going to cope in the real world. Companies will not put up with spelling mistakes, all i'm saying is that if they are not corrected, how will they learn
Also it would be nice if examiners give students their scripts so that students can learn from their mistakes but that never happens...

. The extra time is I think about 25% extra the student has to go somewhere else though for it, but still under exam conditions. She probably feels she can do it all in the time that is allowed

.... Your tutors are good mine just told me I had no problems but I should just watch my handwriting, maybe im not that bad of a speller afterall
