Rejected petition Cancel mock exams for any yr 11 and 13 students

Rejected on 13 January 2021

I would like to cancel all mock examinations for year 13 and 11 students as this isn’t in the spirit of what Boris Johnson was asking,it’s unfair to judge students on a examination when we have been interrupted to many times throughout the years. This is why our a levels & GCSE have been cancelled.

I have wrote to my school and explained my points to why I believe it’s unfair for our school to do these exams, but I would like to make it a Uk wide thing, at the moment all it has done is moved the stress of not doing exams to doing them in school, this is a joke as it’s unfair on these kids stressing them out because they are at a disadvantage, if the students do badly in these exams schools will give them a poor grade when this may not have been the outcome if everything was normal.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Deciding whether to hold mock exams is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
