I don't agree that A-levels are getting easier, at least not 'til the new AS levels (I did mine the year before).
Gone are the days of ,"all exams of same difficulty," they actually make the first year ones easier, can you believe the cheek of that!
Good luck to all those doing them this year, been there done that, don't envy you!!!
Anyone who thinks they have got easier, go back and take one, you'll soon find you're lost.....
On average, with each generation, their IQ gets higher (The Flynn effect).
If you have an impossible question (which I have in the past, thanks edexcel) check your working and say something!! Don't get your knickers in a twist!
