Change GCSE English Literature exam petition launched

Last year, lots of students struggled with GCSE English Literature as it was a closed book exam. Because of this many failed. How can exam boards expect students to remember quotes from 15 poems, plus how to analyse them, plus remembering the whole plot, themes, characters and quotes from another book.
Is it really fair that students have to remember so much, whilst also doing revision for other exams. It is important to know how to do all that is asked in the exams, but when in life will you ever have to remember lots of information about lots of texts, then be expected to recall it perfectly under pressured conditions, on top of loads of other stresses, then write about it for strangers to judge whether or not you are worthy of a good grade or not.
An online petition has therefore been set up at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200299 and has so far received over 152,590 signatures.
Deadline for signatures is Sunday March 18th.
