  Analyzing any novel by appearance.

        GCSE English students are starting their new school year in the wake of a roar over whether their summer exams were marked fairly. It was harder to get good grade in June but it was in January. Now letters leaked to the time said education supplement show the difference involved exam regulator Ofqual. Last month, they wrote to the exam board Edexcel asking them to produce outcomes that are much closer to the predictions. This may require you to move grade boundary marks further than might normally be required. Edexcel replied we do not believe a further revision of our grade boundaries is justified1. The chief regulator appeared before MPs and it insisted that Ofqual had done nothing wrong afterwards she blamed over generous markers.
        It’s true to say that in January of minority students took units then. And as I’ve said that before exam is their best to set great boundaries that we can see now and we’ve wonderful benefit of high sight that they were relatively2 generous. The fair thing to students is to maintain standards between exam boards. 
        That is no comfort to the students who’ve lost a place on their apprenticeship3.
        I feel I would like, like just change any time that we want to change very well, anyone wants to change. The mock sting is a game, bringing on frustrating4 and just change whatever we want really. They can do.
        Meanwhile high-performing schools say the implications go beyond the pupils affected5.
        As a result of the re-grading, the performance of this outstanding school has dropped so far. It should trigger and automatically off standing6 inspection7. 
        Angry heads are demanding a climb down. 
        There’s a huge number of people in education believe this is profoundly unfair. The revelation this morning in the letters would indicate that the examination boards believe it’s profoundly unfair. The only people they believe this June result was fair, was accurate are Ofqual.
        I stand by gives some man who’s big.
        This is a roar that’s likely to rumble8 along through the autumn term.
