Incorrect Spelling OK on English Tests
Skool xams definitly aint what they used to be. Concern about the nation’s spelling abilities may have spawned a best-selling book and a television series, but for today’s pupils, ignorance of “i before e except after c” is no barrier to success.
Examiners marking an English test taken by 600,000 14-year-olds have been told not to deduct marks for incorrect spelling on the main writing paper, worth nearly a third of the overall marks.
The rule, issued by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, means that pupils could spell every word wrongly in the most significant piece of writing that they are required to do and yet still receive full marks.
