Rejected petition Bring AS exams back and rid of A Level Exams for the sake of youth mental health
AS exams have been dwindled away due to Michael Gove’s, former education secretary, reforms to A-Level exams. Previously, students would learn a years worth of content and then take the exam, now majority of exams are taken after the 2 year course. A Level exams are also getting harder

This pressure and strain leads to mental health issues such as anxiety, panic, emotional distress and depression to name a few. The calls mental health organizations receive have been increasing significantly over the years, leaving some dropping out of sixth form altogether in hand reducing teenagers motivation
