People always say that the exams are hard and are different to a-levels and gcses.
Do the top scoring people who got like straight A*s at school find it hard to cope at all?
I know that a lot of people who get in have far lower grades than straight A*s at a2 and gcse - so how these people cope?
Are the students who find the exams hard, the students who previously didn't score that great at a2/gcse? Because I can understand that.
I mean I have always been in the top of my class academically (getting straight A*s at gcse and a2), I feel I can manage the medical school exams and I find it pretty annoying when friends (who are medics) say that the exams are hard - who are almost assuming that I will find them hard myself.
