The Issue

For months, we dedicated our time, energy, and resources to master the intricacies of AS Level Physics structured theory. We drilled into the depths of every calculation, refined our explanations, and strived tirelessly to excel in Paper 2. It is more than just a test; it symbolizes our hard work, resilience, and passionate commitment to learning.

Yet, Cambridge's sudden decision to cast aside our eagerly awaited written examination in favour of an algorithmic 'assessed mark' feels utterly unjust. This move sweeps aside our months of rigorous preparation and devotion. It feels like our future is being thrown into a statistical lottery where one off-day on practicals or a couple of tricky multiple-choice mishaps could overshadow our actual capabilities.

Our individual strengths and efforts are being overshadowed by a single algorithm, ignoring the dedicated journey each of us embarked on. This isn't just a plea for fairness; it’s a call for recognition of our sheer determination and hard work. It's imperative that we do not allow a standardized formula to be the measure of our abilities and to dictate our future pathways.

We propose that Cambridge reconsider its decision and restore value to our written examination. Our suggestion is to integrate the 'assessed mark' with our written component to ensure a more comprehensive and just reflection of our academic prowess. This holistic approach will honor both our theoretical and practical endeavors, providing a well-rounded assessment that truly represents our capabilities.

Sign this petition to urge Cambridge to reinstate the integrity and balance of our grades, providing us with the future we rightfully deserve. Help us preserve the sanctity of our hard-earned knowledge and skills by standing with us in this significant moment. Let us ensure that our education reflects not just a statistic, but the hearts and minds that poured into every lesson and every exam.
