A-level grade A's up again to 24% , are exams getting easier, or teachers better?

teachers better

 

Exams easier. A levels these days are about jumping through hoops. If you do certain things in answers in many subjects then you can get easy marks. The exams are too predictable, and teachers can quite easily coach kids to pass exams, rather than the kids having to rely on their knowledge and intelligence.

 

i hope that's true although how can 24% of all grades be "A"? Summat wrong there.
