A large number of pupils are complaining over "shocking" guidance given to them ahead 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 have now taken to social media to claim they were given the wrong information by AQA, the country's largest exam board. One Twitter user said children were left "in tears" after sitting papers that were unrelated to what they were expecting. This has been refuted by AQA.
Twitter user Andy Duff wrote: "Could someone find out why @AQA set out guidelines for Mondays GCSE biology paper and then got pupils to sit one unrelated to what they said. Leaving many in tears and potentially ruining their future after they already suffered the worst education in history."
