Rejected petition Make GCSE 9-1 Mathematics exam easier.

As we can see from practice papers being handed to GCSE students, there is A-Level content in the GSCE papers. It is extremely hard for students to be able to do certain topics alongside juggling other subjects. Please consider making the exams easier, with less A-Level content.
