A facebook group protesting about the content of an A-level biology exam has been launched by whingey students who haven't had their results yet.
Members of the group are hoping that they can persuade the exam board to give them all A's because the board should appreciate that being on Facebook all the time and making silly reactionary groups is too much of a distraction from studying to resist. The group are also hoping to encourage the public to make Rage Against the Machine number one on A-level results day. Probably.

Students are complaining that the paper asked questions that weren't covered during the course and are concerned that the paper will cost them places at University. One student said, "We were not taught exactly what areas to study for. I'm not saying that we should be told what questions are coming up, we're not at University yet after all... But the course didn't even give us massive clues as to what the exam would ask. It was as if this exam was trying to test our overall knowledge of the subject and we weren't prepared for that."
Another anxious student said, "If I don't get into uni I'll have to stay in my depressing shit hole of a town and start having kids to shaven headed thugs. I'll be 23 with four kids, weigh 20 stone and be black and blue all over from the domestic abuse that the non university educated indulge in. Why are the exam board doing to this to me?"
Jamie McCuin wrote, "They should make it so that we all get automatic A's, if they could also make it so that we get another series of Skins - but with vampires, better school lunches, Mr Christies wig to fall off in class and for me to get a feel of Kelly Swanson's chebs then that would be smashing."
A spokesman for the exam board said, "We are aware some idiot students are on the internet annoyed that an examination we set actually resembled an examination for a change. There have been concerns that the paper didn't allow students to display their abilities adequately. One of the wall posts on the Facebook page read, 'WTF? LIKE, WTF? LOL. R U KIDDIN' ME? DAT PAPER SUCKED. ROFL LMAO'. You're telling me that student has abilities to display? Aye right - disabilities, maybe."
"We're basically all just sitting round watching the incoherent posts on this page and having a right good laugh. We'll definitely set difficult papers in the future if this is the sort of entertainment we get out of it. As for students being prevented from meeting the requirements for University courses we can lessen those fears by reminding students that if you can spell your name correctly and do simple arithmetic you are a shoo-in for a Uni place."
