The panel discuss this, followed by a look at Schools minister Georgia Goulds letter to Ofqual to say that "for the lifetime of the current GCSE specifications in these subjects, students should not be required to memorise formulae and equations for assessment purposes." On the panel: JP, Rae Whitehouse and Rachel Gilyeat.
