We need OCR GCSE Computer Science grade boundaries need to be LOW

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Instruct OCR to have LOW grade boundaries or redo paper 2.

For most of the questions in paper 2, especially the programming ones, The instructions asked on what to write our algorithm about made absolutely no sense. My friends and I who are usually good at Computer Science were shocked on how bad the wordings were which affected our exam performance, where some questions were impossible to answer. I got a severe panic attack, and my friend nearly fainted.

Compared to previous past papers the formatting, types of questions asked were VERY different.

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.
