Closed Require shorter, more frequent exams for A levels

Closed on

The government should require that exam boards have frequent exams throughout the two year course. This will replace the use of only a few exams at the end of the two years.

The government should enforce this change as the current system causes large amounts of stress, anxiety, and depression. It is unnatural for young adults to cope with this. By spreading out exams, the stress would be reduced and more information can be collected to assign students an accurate grade.
