Exam feedback: initial findings 308 student questionnaire responses I receive written feedback on my examination scripts: Frequently13.3% Sometimes14.6% Never42.2% N/A / Don’t know 29% I receive verbal feedback on my examination scripts: Frequently5.9% Sometimes20.0% Never46.9% N/A/ Don’t know27.2%

5. A NORM OF NO EXAM FEEDBACK In the exams, we never really get feedback from the exams and it would be nice to get to know what we have done wrong instead to just getting a mark for the exam from the actual board. Then you’ve got the opportunity to get the exam papers back but you don’t get the opportunity to sit down and talk to anyone about it. (Female 1, History and Education Studies, Level 5 interview). “[ exam feedback] is presented as something which is a luxury that you shouldn’t expect and you should be grateful if you get it”

8. Feedback is the basis for improving my grades so I would take any chance to get more feedback especially with exams. With feedback from previous exams you may be better prepared in the next year’s exams. My exams are my weakest area – I need all the help I can get! Like any graded work it would be nice to receive an idea of where I went wrong or indeed right! There is an awful lot of luck or randomness in the exam marking system
