Invigilators dashed around the hall ripping out the answers from all papers - asking the 50 undergraduates to finish the exam.

監考人員在考場四周飛奔拿掉所有考卷的答案—要求50名大學生完成這場考試。

Some of the second-year students reacted with anger and stormed out before the end of the two-hour test, reports the Manchester Evening News.

若干二年級學生憤怒以對，在2小時測驗時間結束前就不爽走人，「曼徹斯特晚間新聞」報導說。

這些成績原本要列入最終等級評量來計算。但學校主管已宣布考試無效，將要求學生們重新考一次試，來完成這門課。

One student, who did not want to be named, said： "Some people didn’t realise they had the answers and were angry that others had been given an unfair advantage. It was just a big mix-up."

一名不想被公開姓名的學生說：「有人不曉得自己有答案，對其他人佔便宜感到生氣。這真是一團亂。」
