====Exam difficulty concerns from students==== After students sat the Paper 2 of the new specification Mathematics A-Level (9MA0), many students complained online expressing that the difficulty of the exam was too high and unlike anything seen in past papers. One online petition to lower grade boundaries was signed by thousands of users. Before results day, Pearson Edexcel released a video addressing students about the difficulty concerns and mentioned that independent experts did confirm that the exam was "fair and valid". They acknowledged the first two questions of the exam were more difficult than anticipated, and also claimed that they would make "small adjustments" to "improve the experience" of the exam for future students.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlFt0tFSRvA|title=Hayley White - Addressing the difficulty of our A level maths paper 2|date=2019-08-08|website=youtube.com|publisher=Pearson Qualification Services|access-date=2019-08-17}}</ref>
