What the petition asks
The Government should ensure that students taking maths and science exams have formula sheets and those taking other subjects such as English have open book exams, where students can take relevant books into their exams.
In real life you would be able to look these up. I think the Government should make all exams equal in this way to stop them being just about remembering information rather than focusing on actually applying it.
