It's mock GCSE exam time and although I no longer have to indulge in marking exam papers one of my colleagues shared a few howlers with me.
The exam question was something like, "Describe how animals adapt to living in hot dry desert conditions"
Candidate 1. "Animals adapt to hot dry conditions by becoming shorter then they are further from the sun"
Candidate 2. "Camels survive in hot dry conditions by storing water in tanks in their humps"
Candidate 3. "Polar bears adapt (...)" I was laughing too much to listen to the rest of the answer.
The worrying this is that these answers were delivered by a top set with predicted grades of B and above.
