onehundredthidiot quite agree, the decision to cancel exams was knee jerk, senseless and not made with any thought to the future. I think they thought it would be popular and it made them look like they were doing something decisive.
I’d be extremely surprised if exams aren’t run next year after this mess, short of a catastrophic increase in uncontrolled Covid there is no reason not to. Delaying the exams into July is a bit of a non starter as well (no time to mark properly,get university admissions sorted, staff on contracted holiday, kids on holiday) better off holding the exams normal time and accepting they haven’t had the normal study time. Use the normal moderation process that does work to bring the grades back up to normal levels. Works every other year.
<Pedant mode>exam papers are not remarked under normal appeals, the process is reviewed, statistical checks done of the person who marked it etc., marks are added up correctly, a full remark is a different thing and costs more/<pedant mode>
