well, they go and set up all the pieces (sometimes from other companies to ask for permission first) and they spend about 8 hours examining a day... ...in which time they can examine a minimum of 15 or so people doing G8. £59 x 15 = ...£885. Per day. It doesn't cost that much to set up pieces and location. And that's assuming they all take 1/2 an hour. Most certainly...

It cant all go to examiners, otherwise they would be rolling in it! I would guess a large proportion of it goes to the AB.

Thats what my mums always worried about with exams, not that fact that we might fail, the fact that the money would have gone to waste!
