All the British exam boards- aqa, edexcel, wjec, ocr, cie (am not sure about ocr and cie, but would be happy for them to sue me for libel – they are a bunch of morons anyway), it seems, have been allowing teachers to essentially see exam papers in advance for £200 a day. They have been told the questions and exact wording that should be used to get the most marks.
Hell, why don’t they just sell the papers to anyone who can afford an outrageous fee to be met in some anonymous field at midnight by someone with a paper programmed to self destruct after the twenty minutes it takes to read it?
I am sending an email to edexcel.
Please can I have all your exam papers for June 2012? I promise not to give them away or sell them, unlike some of your staff.
I await their reply.
And here one is.

I did reply. I said,
Can you include all the Jan 2012 papers too?
We seem to be having a regular exchange here. Their reply, and my reply to their reply:
