Closed petition Exam breaks

Closed on

If a school exam over a continuous period of time lasts longer than 90 minutes, Students should be able to have a break of no more than 10 minutes. This allows them to regain their focus. It has been scientifically proven that students can't concentrate for periods of time longer than 15 minutes; by having a break it would help the students get better exam results.
