Students have started to ask if they can wear mufti for their comfort and to help them perform at their highest standard or all the hours they put into revision is not worth the time they gave. Is that not worse than them wearing clothes they bought to be worn? There are many aspects on both sides of the argument that we have to consider, such as students wanting to show their individuality and personality. This may be because students want to feel themselves whilst taking the tests because of stress they may be overwhelmed and slightly lost. Studies have shown that the more one uses their signature strengths in daily life, the happier you become.

Students have also fought that if they are in their own clothes that are loose and stretchy material that they will be able to focus better because they will be able to relax just as well and give their mocks and their future GCSEs their undying attention without being worried or distracted by pieces of clothing digging into skin or shirts raising to their shoulders because they are too much like a box.

On the contrary, the opposing might add that mufti could raise stress levels and could have negative impacts. This would be because picking out an outfit that is considered normal and cool to their fellow peers could eventually lead to higher stress levels because they might have to pick a different outfit each day in order to stay accepted by their schools social life. Therefore, a student would not be as focused on their thoughts and answers but on opinions on themselves and insecurities. 

The lesser of two evils could be that schools adapt the uniforms for the exams. Examples of this might be making a school hoodie, allowing students to wear sports kits or wearing their own tops under the school jumpers.
