Passing and Failing
The pass marks for the literacy and maths tests were increased to 63% in 2012. Candidates are now also restricted to 1 attempt and 2 resits in each of these tests, which must be completed before beginning teacher training. Resits incur a charge.
QTS in ICT has now been abolished.

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or failing:
“Frequently also some fair-weather finery ripped off a vessel by a storm near the coast was nailed up against an outhouse. I saw fastened to a shed near the lighthouse a long new sign with the words “ANGLO SAXON” on it in large gilt letters, as if it were a useless part which the ship could afford to lose, or which the sailors had discharged at the same time with the pilot. But it interested somewhat as if it had been a part of the Argo, clipped off in passing through the Symplegades.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As he watched from windows in the failing light
For his world that was always just out of sight
Where weakness was part of the ordinary landscape
And the friendly road knew his footstep, his footstep.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
