another forum i use is for medical students/ IMG's (the only reason is because my misses is one) and most are from Pakistan. March last year those taking PLAB1 (one exam you need to pass to start the process of registration with the GMC) caused uproar, GMC changed the exam format (more SBA questions than EMQ - most people would say that SBA take longer to answer) so only 21.% passed the exam, a massive drop from the usual 40-60% pass rate.
many of those who failed will not going to take this lying down, they started to arrange protests, met in groups in the UK and Pakistan, went to, wrote to the GMC, Mp's to complain, found a well known Pakistani barrister who said they could challenge the GMC with a judicial review, but as the exam was every couple of months, the protesters started to drift away and prepare for the next exam. but they left their mark, a lesson GMC will not forget . http://www.gmc-uk.org/5___PLAB_Part_...f_42527354.pdf
my point is if people did this for one exam, what would and should people do, if your family is torn apart, protest, until you get what you want.
