> How can this be true when our exam pass rate has been climbing for yonks? If anyone wants to see grade inflation UK-style in black and white, take a look at these two pages: http://www.bstubbs.co.uk/gcse.htm http://www.bstubbs.co.uk/gcse.htm http://www.bstubbs.co.uk/a-lev.htm http://www.bstubbs.co.uk/a-lev.htm The bottom table on each page gives the overview across all subjects. For those not familiar with the British system, GCSEs are taken at age 16, A-levels at 18. So, for example, in 1989 when I did GCSEs 45% of grades were in the range A-C. This year it's 69.8%. When I did A-levels in 1991, 78% of grades were in the range A-E. This year it's 97.8%.
