Rejected petition Change the new GCSE English Literature Exam.

Recently the GCSE exams have changed, the English Literature Exam especially as this demands that students to remeber snippets of 15 different poems, and this is difficult to remember on its own, let alone on top of all the other information we have to remember.

More details

As this is the first year of doing it, we have nothing to go on so it is extra difficult, and along with remembering stuff about a book as well.
