I just read Viv Groskop's review (which I saw on MSN) of Exam Nation (Amazon affiliate). This was supposedly from The Guardian, though when searching for the original I found a different review online. Anyway, it seems like quite an interesting book, even if it sounds like it's focused on schools rather than higher education.
What really caught my eye though was the reviewer's quotable ending: "the process of great education is a bit like the process of doing well in any test or indeed in life: you have to be prepared to do the work". That might be a nice remark to share with incoming students...
