Dear Janet
I, too, share your feelings of frustration, after receiving numerous
phone
calls from very upset pupils and parents. Pupils who normally got
90%-98% in
our module E sample tests (including the mock exam which was officially
published in the NBA), got 60%-80%. Only few have passed the 85% mark.
sincerely frustrated as well.
Hagar
