I find this rather strange, do you mean that exams in Great Britain are all stated in obsolete units? I rather doubt that... As far as I understand they do not just sit exams but they have to set up their own research project and then they can use any units they see fit. The A-level exams for physics in the UK are in SI otherwise.
