Rejected petition Cancel "Mini Exams" proposed for Year 11 and Year 13

Give clear and decisive instructions towards teenagers regarding their exams, which are a deciding factor towards their future.

More details

Firstly with the anxiety levels and mental health of the current young people we need clarity and clear understanding with regards towards exams. Exams are usually a point of anxiety - let alone when they are not confirmed. As a student I propose that the government cancel mini assessments this is because we've missed out on a lot of our education which disadvantages us. Not to mention, the added stress of revising for exams that may not even take place. 50% of mental health problems are established by age 14.
