So i saw this petition online for the grade boundaries to be lowered for maths due to many factors which is mentioned in the petition:https://www.change.org/p/edexcel-uk-...me?signed=true. You can sign if you want but remember it would probably benefit you a lot if edexcel took the right action.

Grade boundaries are always based on percentiles, so a ridiculously hard series of papers will see much lower grade boundaries than if the three papers are a breeze. I haven't taken the paper and am an A-Level student who studies AQA so I have no experience regarding Edexcel papers. But the move of the new GCSE and A-Level seems to be much more towards actually understanding what the maths you're learning means. Too many people seem to just know the method and that's it, they don't understand why any of it works. It seems to discourage rote learning, learning by just repetition. Idk, that's just my opinion on it. The examiners make the papers achievable in my honest opinion.

sorry use this one https://www.change.org/p/edexcel-uk-...y-lack-of-time
The thing that was unfair here was that students taking AQA further maths and edexcel maths may have had an adavantage on the last question in the exam for example people in many schools who take further maths usually take AQA further maths but may take edexcel maths so if they came across that question, they would have an unfair advantage.

But it’s quite literally one question. You should know how to do all questions in that form on Edexcel anyway as it’s part of the spec, and the odds that people memorised that specific question and answer are astronomically small.
