I honestly think they don't put the same emphasis on correct English or grammar as they used to do, in exams apart from English that is, spelling doesn't seem to matter. My other half acts as an exam invigilator at her local primary school in the exam season, and she often remarks that spelling mistakes in subjects such as history and geography are overlooked, which to me is counter productive
