So if the pupil had written it 50 times, would they have passed?

Ah, but is it true or isn't it?

From what I can see, the examiner in question was presenting some training on marking and was giving an example of how any sort of response was worth considering for a mark.

I don't know if it's a real story or he made it up, but I don't see that it matters much. Giving someone 7% instead of zero isn't going to make any difference and I think it just shows the examiner had a good sense of humour.

Blown up by the media? An insignificant, probably tongue in cheek, comment by the examiner seems to have hit the headlines. Must be short of news.
