Exam Results

On the whole they went very well. Only four students absented themselves, two of whom with 'good cause' ..we are checking the others.

Five students got very poor marks and we will check out if there are special reasons. 

But in no instance does poor performance seem to be related to poor attendance; 

I need to check the oral marks against other marks over the semester but it looks like we need to drop four students from Intermediate, and replace them with six from Beginners,. 
I am inclined to turn Beginners 3 into' Beginners 3 (Pre Intermediate)' as it  will comprise the very best of the beginners plus those 'relegated'.

The students were terrified and many clearly performed below their real ability. but they have never been subjected to this style of exam before, and when it was all over they admitted that they had kind of enjoyed it. I think it that in most cases it was a good learning experience. NO student arrived late and NO student failed to dress correctly.....progress?
