Rejected petition Make all grade boundaries for AQA A Level Biology Paper 1 under 50%

The AQA Biology Paper 1 A Level Exam (7402) contained questions that were not relevant to the specification set for the exam, and after many comments online it is clear many were faced with the problem of not having enough time to finish. Therefore all grade boundaries (A to U) should be under 50%.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The content of exams is the responsibility for the awarding body, and oversight of exam boards is the responsibility of Ofqual, the independent regulator.

You can find out more about the process for challenging the result of an exam where an exam board has failed to follow the correct process:
