A disappointed parent mentioned, "The invigilators were not ready with the papers. Even when they started distributing, they gave them to students of their own schools first. My son got the additional sheets just 10 minutes ahead of the last bell after asking for them at least five times. He had only half an hour left to write. He couldn't answer questions worth 20 marks."
Another parent who claimed that his child missed out on a question worth 6 marks, said "This is extremely disappointing for students who prepared for an entire year for the exams. The authorities should look at CCTV footage and take necessary steps to ensure students get justice so that they continue to be motivated for the rest of the exams."
