Allow 2017 GCSE students to NOT sit a closed book exam in English

Petition Details

Writing a closed book exam is very difficult and highly stressful, making students memorise quotations does not test their intellect. I would rather students siting the English literature 2017 papers to be allowed the book/play or be allowed to bring there own quotations in with them.
