Some students in Australia were shocked after spending a year studying the wrong book for an English exam. Eight pupils from a school in Melbourne got a big surprise when they opened the exam paper to find that the book they had studied- Julia Leigh’s The Hunter – did not appear at all on the paper. It seems that the school had read the wrong syllabus and prepared the students for an old exam. A spokesman from the test said: “It does happen occasionally that schools teach the wrong text to their students.” For the exam, literature students had to write two essays – one each for their studied novel and play. Administrators of the exam said that they would receive a fair grade for what they have done. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
