Yes, it totally is ridiculous. The class is annoyed as it is so hard to get the grades in order to even go university. Our exam board is OCN, apparently they made it tougher as everyone was getting distinctions beforehand, will be lucky if I even get one lol. Did an access course nearly 10 years ago and it was just purely assignment based (quit about 6 months into it due to health issues) and was no way as complex as this, it is even the same college. Cheers for your reply. How long ago did you do your access? I had to google CAVA as I have never heard of them, one college is actually close to me who uses CAVA as the exam board. Wish I chose that one now
