Rejected petition Disqualify the AQA question: What is an independant company?

On the 17th May, the biology AQA exam was taken. The question: 'What is a independant company?' was on there. This is not in the school syllabus. Also there is evidence that this is not a biology question. We need to change this because this is an unfair examination. Make it known!
