It's really disappointing to see first hand the effect that this has had upon hard working students amidst an already stressful period during their lives. The exam board need to fix up.

Sadly, this is nothing new. How students can be expected to answer questions about subjects they haven't studied beggars belief and suggests those setting both the syllabus and exam questions need to improve their own standards.

There was little to no focus on many main concepts learnt and most questions were on key terms that are either not mentioned in class and textbooks or are mentioned with little explanation. Very unfair on all the students. AQA seems to forget that it is teenagers under timed and stressful conditions taking these exams,

This exam was far too hard as some questions produced were meagre and not adequate enough to feature on a question for such high marks. The layout also threw a lot of people off.

Everyone in my class worked oh so hard on this paper and they deserve what they worked for.
I found myself very upset and stressed out to hear that the only time "Content analysis" (paper 2) was referenced in the book was in the middle of a sentence and that "cereal packet family" was simply on a subtitle of a photograph.
Many teachers and students over England were not expecting these A-level key terms to be in the exam. So I say.
LOWER THE GRADE BOUNDARIES AQA

It was unfair and upsettting for so many students who have worked for the past two years learning, to then find that they wasted their time.

I have always been happy with the AQA paper until now. My pupils have worked really hard and had to sit two papers which were far more difficult than any previous exam papers.

How were we supposed to know what a aniome was? We was not taught it as it wasnt on the syllabus and further more was considered a A level term?...

The A Level terms in this exam were unfair to be put in this exam, the grade boundaries should for sure be lowered.

All those A*s and all that hard work for nothing. I probably didn't even pass the exam.
