Stuff that was moved out of gcse was less relevant stuff hence if you want to do A level you might need it but otherwise not.
Universities are getting easier. Am in Kazakhstan at moment and they are not sending students for BA/Bsc to UK as much now partly because standards are dropping at lesser unis to get people/fees in -----Original Message----- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of David Brennan Sent: 16 September 2011 11:04 To: 'leedslist@gn.apc.org' Subject: Re: [LU] nonLU: bored? > > Yes sir, sorry sir! > Actually all this proved is that the current "Oh exams are getting > easier than in our day" stance is bollox. But they are getting easier. I asked recently at a parent's night in my boy's high school when they start differentiation and calculus, they said at A level. In my O level maths days (1982) you learned both, and needed to understand them to get an O level. Science is the same. Half of the stuff I leant in chemistry and physics they don't do these days until A level. So where are they teaching the old A level curriculum? University? Btw, I only got 9 on the grammar school test. But I'm from Yorkshire, so actually only know about tripe and whippets.
