I thought the new system was supposed to make it harder somehow and avoid grade inflation?

Or was that the A level...

Honestly who tf knows. I think pass rates have risen because the exams were so hard that they had to set really low grade boundaries. I don't really get how you can use pass rates to compare since the exam boards set grade boundaries so they literally control how many people pass.
