Is this the year of the dodgy exam? After English paper two was "leaked" (ie. given out by mistake instead of paper one) in our own Leaving Certificate exams, nearly 2000 students in England were given last years French written and aural exams in their equivalent of the Junior Certificate- the GCSE.
From the Guardian;
"The papers, one a reading and one a listening exam, count for 40% of pupils' overall grades.
One invigilator, who oversaw the exam this morning and contacted the Guardian, said the problem was spotted after it was noticed that some pupils had been given a paper with 34 questions, while others had 28. It transpired some pupils were about to sit an out-of-date exam."
As I've said before, I'm just very grateful to the gods of education cock-ups that this sort of thing didn't happen to me last year.

Leaving Cert Paper 2 leaked
An examiner handed out the wrong paper in Louth today... If this had been me last year I would have been absolutely LIVID as the students now have to sit on Saturday morning.
From rte.ie:
"The State Examinations Commission has decided to postpone tomorrow's Leaving Certificate English papers, both Higher and Ordinary levels, after it emerged that students in one centre have already seen the paper.
The examination will be rescheduled but details have not yet been released of when students will take the exam.
English paper two was opened by mistake at an examination centre in Co Louth this morning.
The error was immediately spotted and the papers were taken back, according to the state Examinations Commission.
It has confirmed that a number of students did see the exam paper.
