Cancel mock examinations this year

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We strongly suggest a new scheme be inputted with regards to awarding students their grades until 2022. Student's should then be equipped for any examinations in the future. However, due to the lack of normal teaching schemes, exams are an unfair outcome of what has been months of neglect.

As you are aware, lockdown has most definitely had a direct impact on both the education and learning of many students across the country.Due to the fact that many of us A level and AS level candidates feel as though we are completely unprepared both mentally and physically, as well as lacking the sufficient knowledge in order to perform well in the exams, we urge you to consider the affects that lockdown has had on our learning and plead that something is done to combat this.
