signed an online petition, to complain about yesterday's

:02:18.:02:20.

National Five Maths exam. It comes just a year after students

:02:21.:02:22.

across the country also complained that the Higher Maths exam

:02:23.:02:25.

that it was paper one which you did not use a calculator

:02:50.:02:51.

because there was a question that looked as though you would need

:03:10.:03:11.

a calculator so I had to check that. On Twitter many peoples told me
