Rejected petition We need OCR GCSE Computer Science grade boundaries need to be LOW

Instruct OCR to have LOW grade boundaries or redo paper 2.

More details

For most of the questions in paper 2, especially the programming ones, The instructions asked on what to write our algorithm about made absolutely no sense. My friends and I who are usually good at Computer Science were shocked on how bad the wordings were which affected our exam performance, where some questions were impossible to answer. I got a severe panic attack, and my friend nearly fainted.

Compared to previous past papers the formatting, types of questions asked were VERY different.
