I have personally benefited from ASTA’s training. ASTA's programs focused strictly on education — teaching me how to analyze markets, manage risk, and build discipline. At no point did I receive stock tips or advice on what to buy or sell. I support this petition because mistaking educational training for investment advisory could unfairly restrict access to legitimate trader education. I respectfully urge SEBI to acknowledge the difference and support quality financial literacy for retail traders. Empowering retail traders with disciplined, independent decision-making skills strengthens the market ecosystem. A clear regulatory distinction will help genuine educators continue contributing to financial literacy in India.
Anirudh supported: Appeal to SEBI: Recognizing ASTA's Valuable Role in Retail Trader EducationQuite frankly not even a joke or laughing matter. Literally illogical as to why they would ever consider making a paper this hard. Considering the backlash they got about 2019. This was like 5x worse. Doesn’t even make sense?
Lils supported: PETITION FOR EDEXCEL TO STOP MOCKING THEIR CANDIDATES.I am supporting this petition because I strongly believe that this year’s AQA Biology Paper 1 did not fairly assess students’ biological knowledge and understanding.
Biology is a subject I genuinely love and one that is incredibly important to my future aspirations of studying Medicine. Throughout my entire course, I have consistently achieved A/A* grades in every Biology mock, assessment, and test. I have always been a high-performing student in the subject and have worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible grades. In the months leading up to this examination, I completed numerous past papers and regularly achieved scores of 87 marks or higher. I dedicated countless hours to revision because I was determined to achieve the A* I have been working towards for years.
However, this year’s Paper 1 felt completely different from what students had been preparing for. Traditionally, Paper 1 focuses more heavily on assessing biological knowledge and understanding of the specification content, while Paper 2 tends to place a greater emphasis on application and interpretation. Instead, this paper contained an unusually high amount of application, evaluation, and complex interpretation, making it feel far more like a Paper 2 examination.
As someone who is not particularly strong in English, I found this extremely challenging. Many of the questions were lengthy, confusing, and difficult to interpret. Rather than testing my understanding of Biology, I often felt that I was being tested on my ability to decipher complicated wording. Despite knowing the content, I found myself spending a significant amount of time rereading questions simply to understand what they were asking.
As a result, I lost valuable time trying to interpret the information provided and eventually ran out of time altogether. I was unable to attempt approximately 10 marks worth of questions, not because I lacked the biological knowledge needed to answer them, but because so much of the exam was spent trying to understand the wording and requirements of the questions. I believe this placed students who are less confident in English at a considerable disadvantage.
What makes this particularly upsetting is that I have worked relentlessly for this subject. I have consistently achieved A/A* grades throughout the course, performed exceptionally well in past papers, and entered this examination believing that my hard work would be reflected in my final result. Instead, I left feeling shocked, frustrated, and disappointed. It feels as though years of effort may be undermined because the paper assessed skills very differently from previous years and did not provide enough opportunities for students to demonstrate their biological knowledge.
I feel that my chances of achieving the A* I have worked so hard for, and strengthening my application for Medicine, have been unfairly placed at risk. Students should be assessed on their understanding of Biology, not on their ability to decode unusually complex wording under intense time pressure.
I urge AQA to carefully review this paper and consider whether it was a fair and accurate assessment of students’ biological knowledge, whether the balance of question types was appropriate for a Paper 1 examination, and whether students were given a genuine opportunity to demonstrate the understanding they had spent years developing.

This man should be nowhere near children or their education.
