Teachers say this week’s WJEC AS maths exam is the hardest they have seen and included questions that were not on the exam content specification. Some teenagers were left in tears, parents said.
One teacher emailed all her students to apologise for the paper. Candidates, who have never sat exams before, thanks to Covid cancellations, were left distraught. Another said they would not have been able to answer one of the questions without using a part of the specification that had been removed
Responding to the criticism the WJEC denied any questions were based on content not in the syllabus. The exam board also responded to similar criticisms about the chemistry AS.
