Somebody must have mess up and printed the answers to the exam questions on the back!
But that was what happened to 12,000 lucky teenagers when they sat their GCSE music exam last week.
The OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA) examination board admitted on Thursday that, because of a "printing error", papers sent to schools had answers to questions on the back page.
"All exam papers have a copyright statement dealing with source material on the back page," an OCR spokeswoman said. "This one in particular had more detail than is usual in a music paper."
The good thing is that the affected students do not have to resit their exam... How about that?

I think we all deserve one of those breaks every once in a while LOL. I do not always feel that having the answers to a test or quiz is necessarily a bad thing. I work with students in a learning center, and I find more often that being able to prompt them with choices, a word bank, or a phonetic sounding-out of the beginning of the answer helps them build confidence in knowing the correct answer and remembering the feeling of knowing -- therefore doing better the next time.
