i agree djdk, the ict a level is worth nothing, i did it at as level, and learnt absolutly nothing so i dropped it, i learnt more just playing about with my pc, and from you guys!.
on the some of the other a levels are hard enough already, my theatre studies a level nearly killed me!. some need to be made harder( ie sociology, which you can pass having never done any work or turned up to a single class), others are fine as they areas they are, in my opinion, i did 6 A levels in total.
i think the reason why people are getting better at a levels is that teachers are getting more used to the structure and so are getting better at teaching the subject, we have more past papaers to go by now, so students also have somthing to go on, and can see what sort of work gets an A, B , C etc. and maybe, just maybe, students are working harder as more of them want to get int oa good university?
oh and blibedy blob. i did 6 A levels, Biology Psychology Ict Art General Studies and Theatre studies, and theatre was by far the hardest and the most work out of all my subjects, my friend did Biology Physics Maths English and theatre( odd combination i know!), and also agreed it was the hardest exam she took... so dont say its a sure pass!

(claires a bit sensitive about everyone presuming that a theatre studies is easy to pass, as it requires the most hourage out of any subject, and your expecting to write better essays than an a level english student, which i think is stupid)
