I'm in Year 11 and I'm looking through the AS grades in my school for current Year 13s and I'm fairly startled by the amount of D and U grades, these being achieved by people who would be quite comfortable B/A/A* grade students at GCSE.
Why does it seem to be so much easier to get low grades at A Level?

It's a very big jump and a lot of people work in the same way they do at GCSE. You really need to step up the work and those people probably didn't do as much as they should have done

Because the people who just memorized stuff for gcse fail. /thread

Because the subjects are so difficult, well it does depend on what subjects you take but most of them are difficult for most students. I know people who got full A/A*'s at GCSE who couldn't handle the jump to A level and are now getting low grades. And on the other hand, some B/C grade students are getting the highest grades. I do the sciences, I find chemistry easy but A level biology is the most frustrating & difficult subject I do even though at GCSE it was my easiest
I dunno, how is it obvious that phd physics is harder than playing with magnets
Invalid comparison.
A-Levels aren't that much more advanced than GCSEs. And also noone is saying A Level Physics isn't harder than GCSE Physics. We're saying we found A Level revision as a whole (doesn't usually include subjects you're not very good at) a lot easier than GCSE revision (much more likely to contain subjects you're weak at) as a whole.
