AQA GCSE Physics mess-up - poor old ds - should I do anything? Anyone else's dc affected?

WAs on the Radio 4 news at noon - they got papers with the wrong answer sheets. AQA have apologised but nothing on their website.

He's got three science modules today, so if he's upset by it, and it affects another paper, I'll be cross

Happily we have discussed at home that case where the answers were printed on the back of the question paper so I hope we won't have panicked. Dammit, though.

I invigilated the exam in question at our local secondary today.

Your dc will not be affected by this in terms of results. At our school the pupils were told to write the answers in the question booklet (which is clearly marked up with their name, school, centre number and candidate number) and the people marking the papers will be aware of the mess-up and mark accordingly.

So don't worry, you don't need to do anything, if your ds's school is as good as the one I work in he'll be fine.

Thanks, Hippi, the school were up to the mark, and he was fine!

Glad to hear you invigilators have got your eye on the ball. An important job in times of crisis.
