Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We cannot accept your petition because it does not call for a clear, specific action from either the UK Government or Parliament.

In any case, the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the difficulty of exam papers. Exam boards are responsible for the questions they set. Exam boards are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.

You can make a complaint to Ofqual about the organisations it regulates. Further information about how to complain is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofqual/about/complaints-procedure.

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