It is not fair on them that they are getting lower grades than they should just because the exam boards want as few people as possible to get top grades to make it look like they are tackling grade inflation.\r\n\r\nI am asking that AQA collects all Physics, Chemistry and Biology papers sat by students and regrades them to reflect how tough they were.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-08-27T22:27:26.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:22.748Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:39:15.158Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-08-27T22:27:26.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
