Anybody else think A levels are too easy?

I find them hard, and i'm doing soft subjects! I wish I was more like you haha, I would love to be able to feel confident and capable about A-Levels. What did you get in your AS levels?

Seriously though, I don't think it's fair to call A Levels easy when the A Levels you do use skills that are very different to those needed in, say, History or a foreign language. You might find those hard. So rather than concluding that A Levels are easy, I guess the only thing you can do is conclude that scientific A Levels are easy to you.

Well then, congratulations. You're a genius.

I know this will be controversial, but I'm wondering if there will be other people who feel the same way as me, so hear me out.

Obviously everybody is at a different level and different people doing different subjects will have had different experiences.

However I am in my A2 year doing maths, physics, chemistry and biology and have been predicted 4A*s, and it didn't really feel like I had to do much.

I've never really had to push myself in these subjects, partly because I really enjoy them and I have a talent for them, but it feels like a bit of a waste that I wasn't pushed further so I could reach my full potential.

I'm trying not to explicitly say that A levels have been dumbed down but I looked at an old physics textbook from the 80s and there's so much interesting stuff in there we will never learn about because it was dubbed 'too hard' for people at this level.

I do understand there's lots of people struggling out there, but I really want to hear from those people who are at the top and feel like they could take a lot more on.

In my opinion grade inflation could be solved by making A levels that wee bit harder and so we can differentiate between all of those people who are snatching As and increasing competition for places at university.

What do you guys think? (Be nice)

I do Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths and having received my January unit 1 results which were AAAA has made me think this too. Honestly I was probably one of five people in the sixth form that got straights A's/B's the rest were absolutely distraught with their results. I guess it's only easy because I have a very very effective revision technique (that requires very little time and effort in the long run) which will only apply to a handful of people - Luckily I had discovered my talent at GCSE's and had tested out the technique and it didn't let me down and allowed me to get the best grades in the school.

However there is always that little bit more you can do but for me and I guess you may feel it to, I just don't think I need too. I know myself very well and that is probably a important factor in achieving high grades; knowing what you have to do and luckily the answer is isn't much.
