UK: Students given exam with answers
Students at an Aberdeen university were left bewildered when they were given an exam with the answers attached.
Dozens of final-year business students at Robert Gordon University (RGU) received a marker's version of the exam paper by mistake.
However, students alerted invigilators to the mistake and will sit a rescheduled exam.
An RGU spokeswoman told the BBC Scotland news website: "We have apologised to all students concerned."
'Regrettably failed'
The students were sitting the exam on Saturday when the mistake happened. They will re-sit the exam next month.
The RGU spokeswoman said: "The marker's version of the exam paper, which included the answers, was distributed to the students in error and the exam was promptly stopped by the invigilators.
"The university has procedures in place for the preparation and production of exam papers, which regrettably failed on this occasion.
"A replacement exam, with new exam paper, has been scheduled which should minimise the impact to our students."

MOTHER.FUCKING.IDIOTS.
lol, honestly. i hope 'they' means one kid and that smartass got the shit kicked out of him
still, they couldn't really hand in the exam like that, they would have noticed
Uh, oportunity lost?
it would have been easy to hand it in. Either rip out the answer sheet, or take out the staple, put the answer sheet in your pocket, and then put the staple back in. I would have been so pissed at the person who blabbed.
( god, it's called using your fucking head once in a while!)
By now I suppose they were too used to passing and following instructions to keep it and possibly get caught. It's not like school teaches you to think for yourself once in a while; and that's not sarcasm.
