Posted in Education, but only two responses, so thought I'd try here, giving a bit more info/clarity.
Students in college were doing GCSE Maths assessments this week, designed by the co-ordinator.
If the 16+ students doing the assessments don't get a score that reflects they could get a C grade, the students could be moved out of their groups and onto lower qualifications.
The group taught by the co-ordinator is a mature group; none of the students are likely to be moved from the Maths group, even if they show they are not capable of getting a C.
In the hour before their assessment the mature group were given a pre-assessment, also designed by the co-ordinator. The assessment contained similar questions to the assessment, with three of the questions being exactly the same. The pre-assessment questions were gone over, with answers given and clarification given where required.
The 16+ groups were given warm up exercises, but the questions were not similar to those in the assessment, nor were they given the pre-assessment test.
I feel uncomfortable about this for a number of reasons, but would be interested in the opinion of others.
