I don't think the exams are getting easier, I just think that the schools are so geared towards stats and results they spoon feed the likely exam questions to the students throughout the year. If I were a red-brick I'd instate entrance exams and I'd do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have an exam coming up on September 1st which decides whether I get to continue my degree or not. It's only an hour long paper though so I'm not particularly phased by it yet. I'm fairly confident that the coursework I've done for the module will mean I don't have to excel in the exam tbh. Yours dilligently, Brockles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I got AAC for my A-levels so off to Newcastle University in 5 weeks time. Woo, yay, etc. However must be pretty thick given I could only managed a high C in this year's "easy" English exams. I worked really hard for it as well also. Exams aren't getting easier anyway. A-levels are made easier because of the introduction of AS-levels and resits. They don't make doing well on exams any easier. In any case, if we assume they are getting easier for the sake of argument, it's still a pointless argument. The easier they get, the less powerful they become. Employers don't care about A-levels these days as it's all about degrees - this is for jobs that would never need a degree 10 or so years ago. To get the degree you need to get into university through A-levels. Say what you like about getting higher grades easier, entry requirements are getting higher at the same time as courses become more competitive. I would have only need BBC for my course three years ago I think, but I doubt it's become any better tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Exams aren't getting easier anyway. A-levels are made easier because of the introduction of AS-levels and resits. They don't make doing well on exams any easier. This is why you only got a C. Although the questions are getting easier too, you get the same questions on some A Level papers now that you used to get on O Level/GCSE papers once upon a time, plus they move the % banding about. It's even the same in Universities now, as grades are given out more to retain funding and placings than on impartial merit (although, of course, it's always been the case to a certain degree).
