>Anyone know what is average words per minute for GCSE exams which students
have to be slower than?<

My understanding, Amanda, is that it is 15 words per minute.

I agree about the tightness of the exam board deadline. And why, oh why, do
we have to submit individual forms to each board rather than to the Joint
Council on Qualifications acting on behalf of them all? And why do we have
to list the subject entries on the access arrangements application form when
they may not be up yet on the school's information management system? Why
can't the boards just issue a blanket "yea" or "nay" whatever the
candidate's subject entry for 2006-2008 - they will end up doing that
anyway!
