Hello, According to me, oral exams are not the way to go forward. And yes, the word "leniency" is totally unacceptable to me. You can't develop yourself in a skill based subject like science/ finance/ maths if you are dealt with leniency. We should stress on reasonable accommodations i.e. talking calculators, tools to describe graphs/ accessible equation editors but not leniency at all. P.s: didn't want to hurt anybody, sharing my own opinion from my past experiences. Thanks, Ajay
