Rejected petition Lower 2023 A level Grade boundaries and re-grade all A level students fairly.

The Department of Education should force exam boards to lower their grade boundaries in accordance to this year's students abilities and every A Level student should be given new results in line with a more fair and lower grade boundaries.

More details

2023 A Level Grade Boundaries are ludicrously high, they are considerably higher than pre-covid, (2019), grade boundaries, they fail to take into account that these students did not sit their GCSEs so may lack exam techniques and skills, These results are a record low, with predicted A* students only achieving B grades. Universities are resulting to reducing their entry requirements as not enough students are meeting these requirements.
