Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you would like changes to exams, but we're not sure exactly what changes you would like.

In any case, the questions on exam papers are the responsibility of exam boards and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
