    Neither the quality of teaching nor that of the students over the Caribbean fluctuates violently like the pass-rates are showing.

    On the other hand exams can easily fluctuate in terms of the difficulty to complete all of the tasks in the time available. More easy questions push the pass-rate up, more harder or longer to complete questions push the pass-rate down.

    It;s time to change to a system of fixed % pass-rates for each level so that exam difficulty variation drops out of the picture.

    Such a system exists in New Zealand and works very well and its students do very well in International Comparisons.
