Title: Can this be so?
Post by: Nickbat on 26 May 2010, 23:07:36

Allegedly a multiple choice question from a GCSE Chemistry paper sat today:

Q. What fluid is used in the home for drinking and washing?

A. Water, Copper, Salt or Soap?

Caution: fruity language (perhaps unsurprisingly)

My daughter is 8 and could answer that ( I reckon my son who is 3 could do too) does that mean she could pass her GCSEs early then.... ::)

surely the point of an examination is to grade academic achievement, asking a question that 99% of students can answer correctly absolutely defeats the purpose........if most of them get an A, how does an employer separate the wheat from the chaff?  :o
