Does it annoy anyone else that BTEC's weigh as much as A-levels when they're nowhere near as much work..
Yes
Although BTEC computing looked time consuming - my brother took it

They're more coursework based but level 3 btec is equal to 1 A level. It's just how it is. My brothers taking btec business instead of a level because he's also taking economics, creative writing and history, plus EPQ.
Not that he's going my school he don't live with me.

I'm the opposite, I'm academic, I was so bad at media and art but I'm great at drama. I choose maths, business, economics and sociology,

The worst thing is they parade over us that they don't have a results day and getting unconditional offers when we're going to have to work our arses off.
I guess, it's just a way some people prefer.

Maths Business Economics and Sociology, I've looked into university courses and decided these were the best for several career routes I could choose.
business and econ? some universities don't like when applicants do both because of the overlap, and i know the combination is banned at my school
but if you've researched it and know those are the a levels that you'll enjoy the most, good luck with them

Does it ever pay off for A Level students though? Like do Russell Group unis prefer candidates who took A Levels as opposed to BTEC?

True but they have to give some places to the BTEC kids, as an aspiring lawyer I think someone with ABB in respectable subjects is more qualified than a distinction in a BTEC..

Random question, but why does the fact that you're an aspiring lawyer think that it makes your opinion more credible? 😂

Yeh but if you applied with 4 A-levsl compared to 4 BTecs same equivalent grades, Im guessing you will be preferred,

Because as someone who's looked thoroughly through the course and started networking I know that a B in History A-level would be more advantageous than a distinction* in BTEC law. Good question though, probably should've made that clear haha

Should've. It read as though you were trying to show superiority or something, and that's coming from a fellow aspiring lawyer.
