This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Let GCSE English exams have copies of the text.
GCSE Students have to remember poems, parts of books... Kids study other subjects and have to remember other things. How are they expected to remember so much?
More details
A-Level have a open book exams. They study less text than GCSE students and do less subjects. If GCSEs are becoming harder why are A-levels becoming easier? This generation already have enough stress on them. They won't be able to remember formulas, equations, case studies and now different texts.
