I suggest your new subscriber has a long way to go before becoming an examiner and setting examinations. Smile

Those experts who prepare the exams for students to take are the ones who write the exams.

We don't have SATs in England, so I think this is one for the Americans.

I think it is my Russian students who talk about writing their exams. Maybe it's something in their langauage.
