DS1 is in Yr 10 and has just taken his Statistics exam. He was given the Foundation level paper to do, which - I understand - means that the highest mark he can get is a C.
Is this correct? It seems madness to do an exam where the highest grade you can achieve would be a C!
He's in the top set, so I don't really understand this. If he wasn't capable of getting a higher grade, then why do they put them in for the exam a year early? (It's a state school, not a private school, btw)
