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:
“When as a child I laughed and wept,
Time crept.
When as a youth I waxed more bold,
Time strolled.
When I became a full-grown man,
Time RAN.
When older still I daily grew,
Time FLEW.
Soon I shall find, in passing on,
Time gone.
O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen.”
—Henry Twells (1823–1900)
“I would be a winner because I was a loser! That’s right. I dream of failure every night of my life, and that’s my secret. To make it in this rat race you have to dream of failing every day. I mean, that is reality.”
—Donald Freed, U.S. screenwriter, and Arnold M. Stone. Robert Altman. Richard Nixon (Philip Baker Hall)
