Give students more time in written exams.
E.g. In a Psychology exam you are given a minute for each mark. Model answers are often 2-4 paragraphs for an 8 mark question. However, in the exam we can't think of what to write, 'plan' our answers and write multiple paragraphs in 8 minutes! We are marked on technique not how quick we can do it.
The Government and the department for Education can make this true. Especially due to loss of time and education during COVID.
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 time allowed for any given exam is a matter for the exam board providing the exam, not the UK Government or Parliament.
Nevertheless you may wish to sign these petitions which call for related actions:
