I agree completely. I've lost count of the number of people I've spoken to who did well at their exams, but struggle with quite basic concepts a year or so later.

Just to add my 2p to the debate, what is the problem with re-taking exams? If you are not very good at something, shouldn't you keep trying until you get it? How many of us managed to pass the driving test first time around?
