Thousands of teenagers were asked to sit an "impossible exam" on Monday 22nd May after an error from the AQA exam board administrators. The AQAexam board's humanities paper questioned pupils about various things, which would be impossible without the booklet.
One of the teachers said it would be 'absolutely impossible' without the booklet. Many of the pupils had their own booklets for their coursework, but were no allowed to bring them into their exam.
A spokeswoman for AQA said "An administrative error on our part means that these fresh copies of that pre-released information have not been sent out as they have been. we have contacted all thee centres today. It's quite clearly an error on our part and we apoligise for that."
Over 11,000 pupils in more than 150 schools and colleges in England were taking the exam.
