Our CompSci exam was full of 'typos', admits Scottish exam board

Had a look at the link, and the first complete line of text I found was "Information systems are used to store and present information to users. " To me, this sounds like very bad English. (As written it means that Information systems are used to store information to users, and to present information to users).

I didn't bother reading any further.

But then someone posted "The exam was outsourced to the lowest cost offshore company, and written by someone for whom English is a second (more likely third or fourth) language."

This one looks very much like an "English as first and only language" mistake to me.
