Like a 1980s hobbyist keenly keying in source from
Home Computing Weekly and hunting for that sneaky bug or typo, you too can now peer at reams of code and wonder just how it all went so wrong. Assuming the statistical language R is your thing.
Presented in GitHub, the aim is to promote transparency. A laudable goal, if it weren t for the fact that, as the repo makes clear, the code developed and presented here was not the final code used. It was up to exam boards to determine that. All Ofqual did was flash the source to demonstrate how Ofqual s relevant regulatory requirements could be implemented.
