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 got into a **** uni, let's be honest here...


oh look its some guy who thinks being on TSR and having "LOL PRO EXAM GRADES!" makes him a world-about-town type of person.


Wipe that snot off your nose boy.
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.

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 felt so proud of my A Level results in the summer. :emo:


All the media and the OP has done since is strip it all away! :angry:

Spiteul f***ers...

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.
