    No, they don't.<BR><BR>The AAT will have a pass rate in mind but will be flexible depending on how the students do in general. If someone told you a pass rate you'd then start worrying whether you'd reached that mark or not.<BR><BR>Put the exams behind you and relax for the summer.<BR><BR>Scott.

    percentage %

    Hello, <BR>My tutor said that no matter how hard (or how easy!!!) the paper was, the aat mark all the papers to get a general idea of the passing mark first before deciding the pass limit. They only allow the top 80%-85% of students to pass. Am a bit worried because everyone has said it was straightforward, therefore putting more pressure on the fact that I'm worried about a couple of the short answer questions that i think i have wrong!!!!<BR><BR><BR>BIG HELLO TO EVERYONE AT BARNFIELD COLLEGE (DAY STUDENTS) I KNOW YOUR ALL READING THESE COMMENTS!!!!!!

    Hi<BR><BR>Scotty's right. Some exam boards have in the past had a policy of only passing the top percentage of students achieved a good standard.<BR><BR>The AAT do listen to feedback on the papers and review performance, but only to get a bigger picture of what is considered a competent demonstration of the standards. So if everyone found a paper really easy, the AAT would only pass those who actually showed they could perform the skills required by the syllabus/standards. Conversely, if everyone thought the paper was really hard, the AAT would still only pass those who had shown that they could cover the standards adequately - not just arbitrarily drop the pass mark!<BR><BR>Neil<BR>
