The poem was taken from collection of South African poet, Koos Kombuis, 59, that had only set of punctuation.
After the exam, a student said “I went in feeling quite confident and panicked. I thought it was a printing mistake. I’m concerned about my 2:1”.
In a talk with the poem writer, he said that his poem Tipp-Ex-Sonate was a protest at apartheid censorship laws.
He added: “Where the people at Cambridge got hold of it is anyone’s guess.”
