Third year Canterbury University engineering students complaining about a must-pass exam have been proved right.
The University has apologised after a new report found taking a competency test in the middle of exam season violated policy.
Its timing meant more than half the students failed.
Student Association President Pierce Crowley says it's not about how tough the exam was, but its timing.
"The students accept that it needs to be tough if you want to be an engineer, but it was just around the structure, it was a lack of clarity around what topics were going to be discussed too. I think that's important. But mainly around having it so close to the main exam period."
