Don't make it toooooo easy

GCSE pupils were rejoicing yesterday after discovering their chemistry exam paper answered one of the questions...in another question.
The teenagers went online to celebrate the ‘easy’ exam, which appeared to give away one of the answers later on in the paper.
Pupils said exam board AQA was ‘throwing out marks’ with the paper, which apparently did not include the tricky topic of electrolysis but did have a ‘fill in the blanks’ question.
It asked pupils to ‘complete the blank: the main compound in limestone is calcium____’
Later in the paper, another question states: ‘Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate’.
