Use students TARGET GRADES to grade their A-Levels and GSCE exams 2020.
We as students would like the government to grade the students using their target grades as we have worked hard for nothing i think this will be fair because our achievements will not be recognised and we may get a grade that will not be fair as we have not taken the actual exam
We have been left unclear and I'm sure that student had been working very hard for their exams it will not be fair if we are just graded by predictions or past exams because we worked hard to get till here.

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:

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.
