Increase exam times and an option to type or handwrite during the exam.
A mark a minute isn't enough time to get the mark e.g. In Geography, we only have just over an hour to complete 10 questions (8 marks each and 1 that is 20 marks).
During lockdown and this academic year typing has become a school norm and we should have the option to type in the exam because of this.If you aren't able to increase the exam times or give us the opportunity to choose between typing and handwriting, change the exams to fully course work.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is not responsible for exam time limits. These are set by individual schools or exam boards.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require students be given the option to type or handwrite for all exams, if that is something you want to happen
