Students who sat a law exam that contained "obvious errors" will have the option to resit it next year.
Results from the exam came out on Thursday and the University of Otago said they were much the same as last year.
Several hundred students were left scrambling after being informed part way through the LAWS301 Law of Torts exam that its first question contained errors.
A University of Otago spokeswoman said all students who sat the exam and felt their grade was not a fair reflection of their knowledge had the option of resitting a new exam in a special examination period next year.
She said the disruption caused by the error in words was taken into account during the marking of the papers.
This year’s Law of Tort’s grades were very similar to last year.
The median was 71.44% compared with 70.6% in 2024 and the mean was 71%, compared with 70% in 2024.
One student, who the Otago Daily Times has decided not to name, said the experience was "hugely stressful" because the exam last month contained "obvious errors".
Otago University dean of law Bridgette Toy-Cronin apologised about the error in the exam and the uncertainty and disruption caused in an already pressured environment.
There were 400 exams in total this year and the largest one was HUBS192 Human Body Systems with 1639 students.
