What the petition asks

Please can you check over the edexcel paper 1 maths 2023 GCSE as many student including myself believe this should have been a calculator test there were many questions that we impossible to answer without a calculator.
I want you as a parliament to look at this as it is your duty to be fair on the UK and the people that sat this particular exam did not find it fair. (Edexcel maths paper 1 2023) most of the questions on this GCSE have never been taught to us and there were questions about physics when we don’t get taught physics at college!

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

It is for exam boards to decide which GCSE exam papers allow calculators to be used.
