    lol...well how does that show that students are cheats? ive never cheated for any of my a-level exams...

    I think BTECs can be easily cheated with one person doing the work an then the others just askin them to forward it and re-word it...

    How on earth can you suggest that all A level students are cheats? I feel insulted as an A level student to be called a cheat.

    Also, "BTECs are gaining ground on these so called A level students."

    Could you elaborate?

    You can get into Unis with BTECs, but more academic courses do prefer A Levels.

    But anyway, A Level students aren't cheats. I'm sure some students do try, but that'll be a very small minority. And I'm certain the same goes for BTEC students.

    I kind of hope you're a troll, because if you're not, your view of the world is insane.

    You can go to uni with BTEC's
    GOOD ONES AT THAT
    If you get Distinction Distinction Distinction
    its the same equivalent as three A's.
    Alevels aren't better than BTECS
    they are pretty much the same, btecs are for people who know what direction they want to go in more!

    OP had to take a BTEC because he didn't know how to structure exam answers correctly.

    I don't mean to offend if you are a BTEC student, but what I observed at my school was at the end of the GCSE year all the students who obtained poorer results moving on to do a BTEC. Whereas, the remainder who recieved good results, went on to A levels.

    Since this is the case, A levels are considered perhaps superior to a BTEC, by universities especially.

    Actually, they are for people who want a more vocational course. That is fine... But if you then apply for an academic course it's not going to help you so much because you won't be prepared.
    A levels are better for academic subjects, because they cover the appropriate material. BTECS are better for a more practical approach to a certain subject, as long as that's appropriate.

    How are they same? A Levels are much more harder. BTEC is easier than GCSES IMO. Saying their the same is an insult to the hard work I have to do everyweek.

    I'm not trying to be harsh but...

    'Equivalent' is the key word here.

    Litteraly in this context its the same as saying 10kg of stone is the same as 10kg of gold... same weight but in NO way the same value.

    I am a "so-called" alevel student and I work extremely hard its very insulting that you think that you have the right to "look down" on us when most of us have not cheated/never will on our alevel exams. So it turns out you actually "aint as smart" as you think you are.
