This is disgusting, and as someone who is sitting their GCSE's right now, I can tell you that I feel that AQA have done this with a lot of their papers this year.
It's outrageous.

The key words given in the exam were really difficult and were not taught in lesson, leading to vital marks being missed out in the exam!

This is just absolutely ridiculous myself and my students have revised thoroughly dedicated so much time to achieve the highest mark possible and to not even have a broad range of topics is disgusting. Take away the two horrific words which aqa can twist and say it was somewhere hidden somewhere in the glossary the rest of the paper was not a true representation of what a student at that age can do. The topics were too narrow and did not allow students to branch their understanding and be synoptic. I'm truly disgusting and I really hope something will be done about this.!!!!

Possibly new exam person who sets questions not experienced enough or too far removed from normal classroom responsible. Sad to see pupils baffled by terminology when there are questions they could have answered if they had known. Doesn't help the poor student at all.

Understandabley marketisation was taught as it is part of an education reform ~ that was down to a lack of thorough revision to those to struggled, however anomie and content analysis was a joke that's part of an A level spec. Absolutely appalled

Anomie!!! It's A2 not GCSE. what is the point of AQA producing specs and approved text books then adding their own stuff in exam. Another exam board perhaps for us
