- macspoofing 6y agoWho is to say your method is any more fair? There's nothing they can do to please everyone. Someone is going to benefit. Someone is going to lose. In the big picture, good students will end up with good marks, and bad students will end up with bad markets.
- pjc50 6y agoThe A level is a two year course with assessment at the end. There are no previously examined grades, only estimated and mock ones. https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/as-and-a-level/chemistry-7404-7405/scheme-of-assessment https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/as-and-a-level/chemi... (Modular and coursework based A levels were popular under labour but reverted by the Tories)
- dkarp 6y agoWow, I didn’t realise it changed. What a horrible situation where a whole year group are reliant on their teachers’ opinion of them and the success of other kids at the same school the previous year. Neither of which these children have any direct control over.

- bananaface 6y agoHuh! I didn't realise it had changed. We took exams in both years when I took it.
