We are set performance management targets each year to make sure that we're not completely incompetent. These are discussed with someone in the chain of command, usually the head of department. My target was based on my year eleven class and was to obtain at least eight grade Cs.

Except when the official documentation came to me today it was for eight pupils to get at least grade V, which means the only way I could fail would be if thirteen of my class didn't show up to the exam and ended up with Xs. If I actually had a target like that i ought to feel confident but the way my year elevens are at the moment I'd still be nervous.
