Examiners should stay away from HTML, or get someone who knows it.

Question 7 is disgusting. In fact, take a few moments to read through the question paper and point out a lot of the errors. But it’s the badly form HTML that bothers me most. Why does the exam board want to teach us incorrect information?

I expect that that web page in newer browsers would just break, or it’d be outraged and refuse to show the page. The other HTML questions are awful too. I only got a few marks in one question because I used <p style=”text-align:center;”>, rather than <center>. The thing is, depending on how well the person marking my exam knew HTML, I would have gotten full marks for that bit.

Okay, I guess I was intentionally using CSS because I knew they were looking for <center>, but still, my point’s still valid. AQA shouldn’t be teaching us invalid code.
