Exam Success Found out on Tuesday I have passed my senior reporters' exams. 18-months of hard graft followed by a nightmare day of law, interviewing and press conferences, back in March. I'm only one of two trainees in the company to have passed all four sections - pass rate is 40 per cent, which is of course has nothing to do with the fact new seniors get a £2k pay rise. Just got back from a three days of hard graft on a press trip round the restuarants and vineyards of north Portugal - much port/wine consumed in celebration.
