Today's embarrassing decision by ministers to postpone publication of the Sats test results for 11 and 14-year olds throughout England follows growing concern about marking problems.
Examiners are reported to have been working around the clock in emergency exam centres and many maths specialists have been asked to help with the English papers over the weekend in a last ditch attempt to meet the deadline.
This comes as no surprise to many schools - we'd be interested to hear from teachers and examiners about their experience of this year's tests and the arrangements put in place to mark them. Were the problems that have now surfaced foreseeable and do they cast doubt on the accuracy of the 2008 results?
