Many students found the 2013 C3 Maths exam paper extremely difficult. The original C3 exam paper was lost whilst being delivered to a school in Holland. As a result the exam board rushed out a new exam paper. Students and staff across the country seem to feel that the exam paper was considerably more difficult than it should have been. Edexcel will be keeping an eye on the marks and if the exam marks are lower than usual will make sure that students are not disadvantaged.
Whilst this type of event is not common it does happen from time to time. The message from the exam board is that students should not panic as their marks will be adjusted to reflect the difficult nature of the exam. If you would like to see the exam board’s comments go to www.edexcel.com
