Petition Action

Let us do our Alevel exams later in the year. Don’t give predicted grades

Petition Details

Let Everyone take their May and June exams later in the year. A lot of people’s predicted grades are not good enough to get into the uni/ college of their choice. People usually do a lot better in their final exams as they put more work in. Please let us sit out exams later in the year.

Additional Information

Because me and a lot of people I know will not be able to go to university based on our predicted grades and our 2 years of college would have seemed to be all for nothing. We need a chance to get better grades by taking our alevels.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards and individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament. You can read the decision made by exam boards on what will happen to exams here:
www.gov.uk/government/news/further-details-on-exams-and-grades-announced

If you want the Government to review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades, you may wish to sign this petition:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/306773

As a result of the large numbers of petitions people have tried to start on this issue, and following a large number of questions it received from petitioners about exams, the Petitions Committee asked the Government about the impact of coronavirus on schools and exams.
