How could you possibly take English Literature At A level and expect for someone to hire you because you know all too damn well about Hamlet seeking revenge for his fathers killing ; [...] So warning to all humanities A level students . Btec is the future. Just do 3 Btecs personally i believe one btec is if you know what you certainly want to do and or your just very lazy and unserious but 3 btecs are just better.

If BTECs worked well for you, that's great. However, some people prefer the exam-based style of A-Levels and you shouldn't denounce Humanities A-Levels for everyone else just because they're not for you.

I'm a Maths student who did three STEM A-Levels with only one semi-Humanities A-Level (French).

Also, as a side note, you may wish to look into the hierarchy of disagreement if you think that this is a good refute.

I never actually commented on whether BTECs were superior or not to A-Levels. In my opinion, it depends on the person and their preferences and, for many people, I agree that BTECs are the better option. My sister did BTECs and she excelled in them and I think they were great for her. They don't work for me as I find the idea of coursework much more stressful; I struggle with deadlines and it just feels like two years worth of exams rather than two weeks. I get that this isn't a viewpoint held by many people which is why I didn't say either way. I also haven't voted on your poll for the same reason and, even if I had an A-Level revision group - which would be strange given that I finished my A-Levels almost three years ago, I wouldn't get them to vote on your poll either.

If you read my comment back, my main point was that you shouldn't denounce Humanities A-Levels just because it's not a style of learning that works best for you. There are advantages and transferable skills from both types of qualification and one isn't inherently better or worse than the other.
