Exam board AQA has insisted the correct guidance was issued after scored of distressed pupils said they had been issued with the 'wrong' information provided in advance of their GCSE biology exam.
Separate advice was issued for each of the biology papers (a single biology exam and two combined papers) highlighting topics that would or would not be covered. However, students claimed they had been given the wrong information by AQA, the country's largest exam board. In fact the exam board said the students appeared to have accidentally used the advance information for a different science qualification.
In response to one question online the board said: "It looks like you might have been using the advance information for a different biology paper from the one you sat."
