Petition Allow students to have open book exams and supported with equations and formulae
more and more students are increasingly struggling to get a grip on the new GCSE format students are being made to memorise hundreds of different quotes from multiple books and poems
More details
whilst also remembering key dates and theories in other subjects this is extremely challenging as it is becoming more about the memory skill rather than knowledge . furthermore a students are required to remember several different equations for subjects like maths and science this is beyond a students capacity and is overwhelming to the students health and well being . Anxiety and depression is most common amongst young people due to exam stress and revision .
There needs to be a drastic change
