What the petition asks

Let pupils know whether they should be preparing to resit instead of leaving them all full of stress and anxiety. If they are in danger of needing to re sit they should know in advance and be allowed to prepare.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards and individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
