Petition · past parliament

Allow GCSE students to have a formula sheet in all science and mathematics exams

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The new GCSE papers do not include a formula sheet, although past students were allowed this. The exams have become harder and many students can answer the questions but not remember the formula. Therefore I think we have a great disadvantage.
