This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We cannot accept your petition because the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the issue you raise. Grade boundaries are set by exam boards. Exam boards are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.

You can make a complaint to Ofqual about the organisations it regulates, including complaining about grade boundaries set by individual exam boards. Further information about how to complain is available here: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofqual/about/complaints-procedure.
