Yeah.

Marie Jackman is on the line as well.

Marie, you had a similar situation in your house with your son, is that right?

And how was it today?

Yeah, you'd know I don't have someone doing the exams, because I was talking to someone at the weekend and they said this to me, oh, I just, you know, how did your daughter get on?

And they said she found Matt's paper one awful, really, really awful.

And I tried to almost shrug it off.

I said, ask her if everyone found it awful.

Sure, it's fine.

You know, there's still the same amount of A's and B's.

It'll be grand.

And what this dad said to me is, no, that's not the problem.

The problem is she was really upset and it completely knocked her confidence.

We got on to the State Examinations Commission and they said an examination must provide opportunities for candidates across the achievement range to show what they know and understand and can do.

And the preparation of the papers follows a rigorous design and development process to ensure they're prepared within

the examination commission's principles, protocols and procedures and the development involves a multi-stage process of drafting, setting, translating and various layers of oversight and scrutiny.

So it would have got through the various layers of oversight and scrutiny, these questions.

I mentioned Ross Kenny, who was on the line earlier.

We couldn't hear you, Ross.

Apologies for that from summed up maths.
