Rejected petition Reform A Level examination time limits.

A level examinations are often a test of how quickly a student can write rather than a chance for a student to fairly express their knowledge on a particular subject. This shouldn't be how students are examined.

More details

OCR A Level G151 and G152 exams, for example, work out at 1 mark a minute with no consideration of time to read or time think.
