Change the AS, A level and GCSE exams in 2021 to be more equitable.
Exams should be changed to reflect school closures. Here are possible things that could be done: Open book exams, Reduced content, Greater coursework emphasis, Spread out content and papers greater, AS content in A level courses examined first and/or Push back exams for more than a month.
It is simply unfair that very little is done to support students, who may or may have not been supported throughout this crisis. There is a huge variability in the support that schools have offered throughout, which puts some students at a disadvantage. The exams should be changed to reflect this.
