What the petition asks
Many students are unhappy about the Mark scheme and how it is too harsh when the answers they are giving are common sense and should be rewarded with a mark.
The exam board have made the PE Mark scheme to harsh and students are losing marks in PPEs, this worries us for our final exams, when we could be one mark off a higher grade boundary and this means we receive a lower grade.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The marking scheme is decided on by the exam board, not the Government or Parliament.
