What the petition asks
After sitting Edexcels maths a level paper 2 today, the vast majority of this years cohort have agreed upon the fact that these exams were far too difficult compared to the resources Edexcel provided us, and have additionally caused many students huge amounts of stress and other mental harm.
Edexcel has provided poor quality of reseources - poor textbook questions compared to questions provided in the exam, missing content from the textbooks (e.g parametric integration), poor specimen materials.
Online, many students have expressed their dissatisfaction with the papers, and how it has effected them mentally, all of which being negative
