HSC exams


You could say I have taken up the pen out of sheer frustration. I've never written a letter to a daily before. But I have great confidence on you and the Star family. I am a real fan of "SWM" and other star publications.

Coming right to the point, I sat for the HSC English 1st paper exam a few days ago. To be not harsh at all, the questions were substandard. Alas! perhaps, the noble initiative of the Board is to minimise "pass rate"! But that is different from making pathetic mistakes or rather blunders in a national exam. I hope I am not losing your attention.

All should know about the blunders of our moderators. Perhaps, it was not moderated at all! Just think, they are getting away with such faults just for being in Rajshahi Board. If this was Dhaka, they would not dare to be such callous. Thousands are there to monitor the questions. Is it not so?
