This may come back to haunt me, but I'm pretty happy about my Year 13's
retaking Unit 3 under the new system. After underachieving last year, they
may do better with the pre-issued case study. I hope so, anyway. And is it
unfair? I don't think so. It's their own fault for not revising properly
12 months ago.
Cheers
David
