Why do people say btecs are easy when you have a shitload of coursework to do?

I’m worried about you and your false assertions. You honestly have no idea what you’re talking about

You don’t get three a levels. To get three a levels guess what... YOU HAVE TO DO THREE A LEVELS!
And this is why you’re doing BTECs and not a levels

Just had a quick look at some BSc Biomedical science degrees entry requirements, where u basically need DDD @ BTEC or B's&C's at a level to go to an ex-poly and the target top RG Unis wont even consider BTEC. If the BTEC is so career driven why are you not a world leading researcher in a top lab or a professor instead your a 11-16 teacher...
The only people who consider BTEC a more difficult qualifications are a handful of deluded people who themselves took BTEC highlighting their bias

I’ve also attended a Russel group. You really need to get out of this academic snobbery headspace.

As someone who does 3 A levels and is now watching her friends who do BTECs relax with minimal exams during this exam season, I can definitely see how A levels are seen as harder than BTECs. Those of my friends who take BTECs have admitted that they are much easier than their A levels in terms of work and difficulty. HOWEVER, I have watched my friends (taking BTEC performing arts) put SO many hours of their time into their work, just to get a good grade. They've been stressed to the point of tears over shows, and staying up till the early hours to finish coursework.

So do I think BTECs are easier than A levels? Yes and no. Yes in that the exam period for A levels is much worse, and that the exams are certainly of greater difficulty than BTEC work, but no because I've seen just how much work my friends put in and just how much they've struggled with their courses. Of course we all still have banter about it (I feel like every sixth form has the saying "omg that's so BTEC" lol), but realistically we respect the work the BTEC people put in. The difference between A levels and BTEC is what you want to do afterwards - BTECs are more designed for giving real world experience and preparing for industry (for example I did BTEC dance at GCSE and it taught us how to audition for companies etc) whereas A levels are more designed for further study.

I think the best way to sum it up is "the grass is always greener"... while BTEC people are deep in coursework it seems like a nightmare, but now it's exam season it seems like they've got it 'easy'.
