    UK A Level Reform
    Quite confused about what all the fuss is about. I understand that the government plans to reform A Levels and remove the module structure. And I was led to believe that Cambridge as a whole didnt approve of the move or support it.

    Then I was showed this by a friend.

    This almost seems like they approve of the coming changes?

    I think Michael Gove has forgotten that university isn't the only route that A-levels lead to.

    Not terribly sure about these changes but we all know the government will implement them anyway!

    It does need a change..

    80% is seen as 'good' but 79% isn't? How is that even possible? If you had an AAA offer you would get rejected by missing the A boundary by one percent just because you achieved a B..
