In an unpleasant (or pleasant, depending on your level of preparedness for the exams) surprise for over 2,000 students of Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), they’ve been told that they’ll be required to retake an examination due to a printing blunder.
According to TODAY, students under the University of London (UOL) who’d taken the Statistics 1 Exam last week will be required to sit for it once again during their semester break due to one missing table of statistics.
The revelation was an especially huge shocker as invigilators and UOL’s examinations bureau had told the students that the missing table was a non-issue, and that those who attempted the paper would not be penalised.
It was only yesterday that UOL emailed the students that they’ll have to retake the paper as the first will not be counted and will not appear in the records — examiners were not able to accurately assess the affected examination.
Obviously, this did not sit well with the students as many had made plans for the semester break. Others took it on a positive note, as it would be another chance at getting higher grades for the module.
The affected undergraduates were offered to retake the paper on May 28 or June 3, and if both dates are inconvenient, they’ll have to sit for it once again next year.
