Rejected petition Make the GCSE English exams from closed book to open book.

Lots of GCSE students have to struggle to memorise lots of quotes or pieces from texts such as Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth. As a student, I feel that there are simply many things to memorise so I believe that we should be able to look at the text to make references easier in the exam.
