So long as it was spelt correctly, I suppose

The pupil is reported to have written "**** off", and would have had another mark for adding an exclamation point"

Not saying it was right but they are screwing it up with style

I failed my English.

I wrote "Phuck off" on mine.

At least the student didn't follow the all-pervasive advertising and write "fcuk off". That would've been too sad for words.

Surely you should have got 50% for spelling "off" correctly.

Yes. It seems unlikely to me that this is a true story. It does have some detail: "Assessment and Qualifications Alliance chief examiner Peter Buckroyd". So it could be real, but I'd like to know more...
