Rejected petition Ensure that exam boards mark papers completely and correctly.

For the past number of years, I amongst other students have received the incorrect grades for exams. This has led to huge numbers of remarks and people losing their first choice at university. This spans from GCSEs to A-Levels. Why should we lose out on our future because of inefficiencies?
