Dozens of students in difficulty complain about “wrong” guidelines provided before their GCSE biology exam.
Separate advice was issued for each of the biology papers (one biology exam and two combined papers), highlighting topics that might or would not be covered. Now, however, the students claim to have received wrong information from AQA, the country’s largest examination board.
Twitter user Andy Duff wrote: “Can anyone understand why @AQA set out guidelines for Monday’s GCSE Biology Paper and then made students sit one that has nothing to do with what they said. It leaves many in tears and potentially ruining their future, having already suffered the worst education in history. “

Reee tweeted: “Will you give us a justification for why the exam aids are not accurate at all. We were told that cancer and antibiotics would not be there, but they were. And it cost more marks over the necessary practice, which was the main focus, please explain. “
Another student said, “Tell us there will be no cancer questions so you have to answer # shocking cancer questions.”
However, one Twitter user said the information provided was correct. Kat Williams wrote: “I am a science teacher and the expanded information on the 4 different articles was as accurate as I could see by analyzing the documents.
“I teach 4 different groups of 11 years, which cover the 4 documents and they were all different in content, so I had to follow the extended information carefully.”
Responding to some of the complaints online, AQA wrote: “The preliminary information was accurate, but it appears that you may have used the preliminary information for a different biological work than the one you met. We encourage you to talk to your school to make sure you put the correct sheet. “
