Good Luck.
Final-year students at university in England are angry after they took economics exam. Students from University of Sheffield have signed petition to say exam questions were 'impossible' to answer. Nearly all of 100 students who took exam complained and signed online petition. They want the university to look into this. The students say the exam contained questions on topics that were not in their course. They also say questions included lot of difficult maths that they had not been taught. One student said a lecturer told them they would only need 'simple' maths. They are now worried that they will get low test scores, and that this will affect what kind of degree they get.

The head of economics department, professor Andy Dickerson, told BBC that the exam was fair. He said not all the questions needed maths. He said level of maths in the exams was the same as the level taught to students on course. Professor Dickerson also said all exam questions were on topics the students had studied. He said: "All questions were based on topics taught in course and for which further reading was provided." He added that one question in the exam used term that students may not have seen before. He said this was no problem because question explained the meaning of term. The university said it would look carefully at results.
