AQA’s GCSE chemistry paper is getting a lot of love on Twitter

9th June 2015, 4:52pm

It’s not often exam boards are showered with praise on social media, but students took to Twitter in their droves today to speak of their appreciation for AQA’s GCSE chemistry exam.

Last week, Edexcel was in the line of fire as thousands of angry students took to Twitter to vent their fustration about its maths paper. The exam included a question about Hannah’s sweets, which soon became an internet phenomenon, but today students have been speaking of their joy about the questions set in their chemistry test.

Here are a pick of some of the best tweets:
