Thanks Duncan I will pass this information on Michelle Michelle Lockett Administrative Officer MIS/ Exams Room G21 01606 720581 From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Duncan Buck Sent: 20 February 2013 15:33 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: EDEXCEL functional skills Michelle We had a similar fall in our FS ICT success rates at Level 2. On talking to the tutors it appears that the students "find VLOOKUP too confusing so we take a chance and don't teach it any more". Guess what one of the main questions was about? Coupled with the relatively high pass mark not getting marks on that question was enough to guarantee failure.
