Rejected petition Allow OCR to change the Grade Boundaries for the January 2017 ICT Exams

Only 47% of the whole country passed one of the Cambridge Technicals IT exams sat in January and this was due to the staggeringly high grade boundaries set by the exam board.

We want OCR to change these boundaries to reflect the national result, and the average score of students nationwide.
