Lower The Grade Boundaries For Edexcel Paper 1H Non-Calculator (04/06/15) & Edexcel Paper 2H Calculator (08/06/15)Exam

Paper was way to hard, shocked most of my year the hard questions came way before the end haven't seen a paper like it before

If I had 6 orange sweets, how many 16 year olds have not got into college because of this paper?

I will never look at grain and sweets the same way ever again

This exam was too fucking hard. Not okay.

no doubt about it, Lower the grade boundary!!!

The maths exam was ridiculous edexcel should bring them grade boundaries down !

After months of studying, I get this. I walked into that exam with my head held high but come out with it low in sorrow. #LOWERTHEGRADEBOUNDARIES

I have never seen some of the questions on that paper

The exam was way too hard and grade boundaries need to be lowered

I didn't even take the exam because of special consideration but I sympathise for the rest

All the past papers I have done have NEVER had questions that hard and in that style. This was all knew crap you came up with.

Not even Edexcels own revision guides prepared me for Hannah's sweets or Kirsty's Plants.

Way too hard

I'm a mature student who has been working tirelessly for the past 9 months to better my maths grade from originally getting a C at school. I've been getting around 75 on all past papers and after today's disastrous paper I will be lucky to scrape a B. Today's paper does not even compare to any of the past papers. This is a disgrace and Edexcel need to sort it out. People's futures are in jeopardy

I was predicted an A* in Maths and have worked my way from a D. I was confident going into this exam but by the 10th question, I was dead. This was uncharacteristically hard of Edexcel and this is unfair as I have done all of the past papers and achieved an A/*. I feel like this exam has robbed me of even a B, which I know I am more than capable of! I hope the exam board can take us, the students, into consideration and significantly lower the grade boundaries as many of us deserve our predicted grade.

Lower the grade boundaries!!!!

Please!! It was so hard, so much worse than anything I have ever experienced in a practise paper. I know standards are rising, but none of the other subjects or boards have pushed the standards to such high and unattainable levels.

I have 6 orange sweets and in total n number of sweets in a bag.

I revised to full extent. I spend £40 on math tuition every Saturday. The paper was much harder than expected with unexpected, difficult questions. I am extremely upset and disappointed in my performance and cannot bear anymore pressure. I am terrified to achieve a grade B or lower. Please with all respect, lower the grade boundaries. Many of us needed to excel in Math in order to sustain a good future that will help provide the needs of our families. Please consider this petition in regards to our future and extreme effort that we have mentally and physically prepared for this exam. How would you like to see your child over worked and stressed for an exam, to see them practice day and night, yet return home in tears and frustration? Would you like to see people suffer over one exam that judges their effort, work and future achievements in life? For you this may be easy but think about us, we go through difficult situations that impact us greatly. It changes our emotions and attitudes to certain things. I know this is not you fault, but if you were to take this into consideration, it would help us significantly. Our minds work in mysterious ways. We may know everything on that paper (we don't and didn't) but just because of pressure, stress and high expectations we forget or make stupid mistakes. We are human being not programmed robots. I request, humbly to lower the grade boundaries. Yours sincerely, Zainab Gogah
