Mr. Dalton Tattan:

I do not think it is possible to do that without a full rerun, because without doing a full rerun one would not know where the points would have landed. As part of the process, the examination results are issued in their entirety. That file is handed over to the CAO, which does an initial pass on it, and it is then sent to the higher education institutions, and based on that, offers are made about a week later. It would be a question of trying to do it without involving everybody in it. Some parents asked whether the first round of offers could be run again for those who just missed out in the ripple effect mentioned by the Deputy, but that did not seem possible to us. However, we have explored it and I am happy to discuss the issue in more detail with the Deputy.

I will pass the question on the issue of standardisation and the November examinations to Ms Feeney because she is directly involved in leading on the examinations that are being held next week.
