How can you pass NOT knowing > 60% of the work?? More likely (and more worrying), 60% of the work is wrong rather than simply missing. Incorrect knowledge is more of a problem than a lack of knowledge. Someone who doesn't know is more open to the correct answer than someone who believes the wrong answer is true. Seeing as the pupil is never told WHICH 60% of their answers were wrong, it is likely that at least 25% of their "knowledge" is simply WRONG. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
