Reduce the A level Physics exam content

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A level physics is one of the hardest A levels and with the unprecedented circumstances that students and teachers have faced, we believe the exam content should be reduced.
We would like the government to consider reducing the A level physics content in order to compensate for the loss of learning.
