See attached graph showing decline in module 1 results over the past few years.
Extrapolation is always somewhat dodgy, but looking at the graph there is a clear trend. To be honest it is more likely to be exponentially decaying rather than a linear decline, but this simple extrapolation would predict that no one at all will be passing the exam module by the end of this decade if things continue as they are!
Over the last few years I have been campaigning to make the exam 3 times 30 minute questions, in line with all the other modules (except mod2 which is completely different) and changes were made over the last couple of years to achieve this. I still believe the change was sensible; but it clearly isn't the answer. Time for others to make suggestions based on their theories..........
