Hundreds of thousands of students came out of their GCSE English Literature exam with pretty mixed emotions on Monday.

Some people had a great time.

Can't describe how happy I am about #aqaenglishliterature

Yet for others, the exam was more of a traumatic experience.

A question about the American Dream in Of Mice And Men prompted serious sarcasm

Tempted to write about my dream of passing the exam and how that's unachievable on the of mice and men question #AQAEnglishLiterature

An Inspector Calls had people making Shelia and Gerald comparisons

Last week, students reacted with utter dismay after their AS-level Maths exam left them confused and more than a little irritated, with some declaring the paper had β€œdestroyed” their future.

AQA said at the time: "Exams aren’t meant to be easy".
