Rejected petition Investigate Edexcel for its repeated negligence of the security of its exams.

For three years in a row, at least one of its A-Level Maths papers has been leaked. Each time, students were told that its "established procedures" would be used without actually explaining what these "established procedures" actually are. More transparency is needed if they are to regain our trust.
