Students have responded with unrivaled joy to their GCSE chemistry exam, though some admitted they didn't even see the final question.

Thursday morning's test covered how substances interact, combine, and change - and pupils were thrilled it stuck to their revision topics.

Fears had been stoked by the experiences of those taking the exam board's biology paper on Tuesday, as that included unexpected references.

Nonetheless, reaction to the chemistry paper was overwhelmingly positive.

Responding to criticism of its Biology paper, AQA said on Tuesday: "Exams aren’t meant to be easy and students are obviously going to tweet about that, but there was nothing wrong with this paper. We wish everyone the best of luck with the rest of their exams."
