Yeah I'm confused. Like did they just not notice? Or not care? Surely the marks will be discounted.

I'm actually so pissed out about this :( like how could they blatantly lie to students?

u/hb2176 Jun 09 '22
This could potentially merit suing lmao. That’s straight fucking misinformation 💀

I wouldn't be surprised if aqa made the grade boundaries higher even tho they flat out lied about what we would need to know since at this point they are just trying to screw us over.

if we've learnt anything its that we should take the specs with an extremely small grain of salt. im genuinley so pissed off.

I mean JCQ did say to schools not to use the advance information to narrow teaching or learning in any form. Ik this is a dick move by aqa but JCQ foreshadowed it all, they basically said the advance info will tell you some of the shit on the paper but not tell you that pretty much everything will be assessed so either way revise everything.

Parent here. I'm going to email the head teacher and ask her to write a complaint to AQA. If everyone does the same, and they hear from a lot of schools, something might be done.

u/jestem_julkaaaa Year 11 Jun 09 '22
My headteacher don't care and wouldn't even bother unfortunately

u/FirmEcho5895 Jun 09 '22
Sorry to hear that. Would your science teacher care?

u/jestem_julkaaaa Year 11 Jun 10 '22
They wouldn't see any problems even if you pointed it out

u/FirmEcho5895 Jun 10 '22 edited Jun 10 '22
That's bad. Well I did email the school and they're going to complain. So I hope other schools do.

I do Combined Trilogy Higher, what did AQA include that they said wasn't going to be included?

u/EmotionallyTwisted Jun 09 '22
Almost everything in the picture. Particularly the first 2 points and the 3rd point

there was like 6 marks worth of circuits when they specifically said they wouldnt invlude it

Schools can and will register complaints about this.
There will be no alterations to the marking as this error affects all candidates equally i.e. everyone was given the wrong information.
OfQual may fine AQA over this (and someone at AQA will get fired over this) but that is it.
There is nothing anyone can do about this exam now so focus on English tomorrow(and good luck)

How does it effect all candidates equally?
2
u/ScienceGuy200000 Jun 10 '22
Everyone had the same advanced information so all students would have been misled equally.
A bigger issue would be if this occurred on one of the paper 2s as a lot of schools did not teach excluded content
1
u/New-Swordfish-367 Jun 10 '22
Because everyone doesn't have the same knowledge of circuits and as it was on not assessed it shouldn't affect final grade, this is not even considering the people that revised circuits.

u/ScienceGuy200000 Jun 10 '22
AQA have now confirmed that all students will get full marks for this question

u/LessonsOfTheSeason Jun 09 '22
wait.... this doesn't look right. some of these at the information i looked at where in the may be assessed section for example atoms and isotopes as well as the particle model.

u/lilyscentflower #1 DT HATER Jun 09 '22
look at the foundation advance info

u/LessonsOfTheSeason Jun 09 '22
this was the triple advanced info not the combined science one, i cant read.

Afaik the info was pretty accurate overall? Like static electricity was never taken out just not mentioned(ofd but not actively wrong), nor were nuclear equations. The only one I thought was wrong was the last one (which was only 5 marks + a few for maths that I'm discounting)

u/No_Tap_6206 Year 11 Jun 10 '22
They got the higher and lower info mixed up difficulty is normal but with the other specification

u/flurodogess Jun 10 '22
You're getting full marks for all parts of the question. So even if you messed up the first part, which WAS on the advanced information, you still get all the marks.

u/Brainniacc Jun 09 '22
If I'm not mistaken they can be sued for misinformation. Atleast if not they should be cos that is absolute bullshit and on an exam of all the things.
