Historical Failure Rate

30 of 86 medical students in their seventh semester failed their exams on 20 January. Medical students claim that the faculty failed to prepare them adequately for the exam papers, and that the papers themselves contained linguistically unclear formulations which could easily be misunderstood. Despite the fact that nine of the 26 students who filed a complaint after they failed have since been given a pass by the Commission for Complaints, the examiners do not think that they were too strict in their evaluation of the exams. Greg Jablonski, the leader of the Examination Commission, argues that all of the students who failed produced at least two poor answers, and that unclear formulations can therefore not be blamed for the high failure rate.
