The £1.49 software available on iTunes and widely elsewhere replicated the obstetrics and gynaecology paper medics at Kings College London took last Monday. These 400 students found that if they had used the app, it had largely armed them with the answers they needed to pass the exam. Scandal: Hundreds of students at King's College London must resit medical exams after a paper's questions matched those found on a revision app Similarities: The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Complete Revision app is seen as the 'essential' revision tool for the discipline This smartphone revision provided study aids so close to the actual questions that the all entrants have to re-sit a revised exam It is understood that the same King's College staff wrote the paper and earlier helped develop the app. Help: The £1.49 app found on iTunes appears to be designed by those helping set the exam at King's As a result the medics have to complete a fresh paper with new questions on July 8 - which is just 11 days away. Questions used for revision purposes and available via a Smartphone app were included in the paper. The examination has been declared void. The individual responsible will play no further part in student or MBBS related activity,' an email from within the university said, according to the Daily Telegraph. 'The School apologises to all Phase 4 students for this very disappointing and unsettling situation,' it added. The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Complete Revision app is believed to have been developed by Guys and St Thomas" NHS Trust consultant Rajesh Varma and academic Dr Kate Spacey, who teaches at the university. Their app is seen as the 'essential' revision tool for the discipline. King's College's medical students are furious about what has happened. One said: 'Medical exams are stressful enough as it is, without students being forced to resit them because of something that is not their fault'. Angry: Students (file picture) have less than two weeks to revise again and say: 'Medical exams are stressful enough as it is, without students being forced to resit them because of something that is not their fault' These 400 students are the only ones affected because each medical school across the country sets their own exams, before they are approved externally. We are taking this matter extremely seriously and launched an investigation as soon as we were made aware of the issue. This is currently underway,' a King's College London spokesman said. They added that Mr Varma was not on a staff contract, and 'nvolvement in any aspect of the medical programme has ceased with immediate effect'.
