Every pupil's dream comes true! Exam with answers on the paper back.

That was what happened to 12,000 lucky British teenagers when taking a GCSE music examination, the Oxford, according to media reports Friday.

The Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) board admitted that because of a "printing error," papers which were sent to a number of schools ahead of this summer's GCSE examinations, had answers to questions on the back page.

All exam papers have a copyright statement dealing with source material on the back page," an OCR spokeswoman said. "This one in particular had more detail than is usual in a music paper."

The exam board said only 5 percent of the overall marks on the paper were possibly affected and students would not have to do a re-sit as most pupils seemed to have been unaware of their good fortune.
