It seems that many other candidates share my sentiments.
The plot thickens. And it thickens some more. As far as I know, this is the first time there has been such student outrage over an examination, but we have Facebook to thank for that; although my school is probably going to send a piece of their mind in the form of a letter or two to AQA headquarters (don’t quote me on that).
This pretty much sums up the general feeling towards the exam:
The exam was a huge joke. Where the hell were genetics, respiration and photosynthesis?
There was not much content related to the actual specification on the paper yet we did get something that was explicitly stated not to be on the paper (according to the specification), and that was a question on the
Spearman rank correlation. Yes, some old folks out there and university students may claim that we are whining but who cares what they think? After all, this is a new specification, so what do they know? These are our futures AQA is screwing with, I expect at least a free re-sit. Lowering the grade boundaries i.e. normalizing won’t do much if universities know the paper was a dud.
Damn you shrews!
