hehe, Everyone maintains exams were harder in "their day" |
when my parents were my age not even 5% of people went to uni, and now theyre saying that 50% should go. Having a degree means much less now than it did, and the AS/A2 system is easier cause you get marked over a longer period of time (ie youre year 12 and year 13 marks count) but you can give up the subject youre worst at!
At my uni, everyone gets a 2:1 cause everyone had to get AAB to get on the course and isn't going to through away their hard work- it's the 1sts that are hard to get and really mean something.

Oh youve destroyed my illusions that a 2:1 is any good now
I thought everyone got a 2:2 and that having a 2:1 showed at least some ability to think
Now im gonna ahve to get a 1st |

Harry I agree with you, I just think its funny the way everyone claims that exams get easier year upon year, even though they seem too and i constantly remind my younger brother.
I'm not sure I agree about the 2:1 thing, everyone on my course had to get AAA, but it doesn't seem that 2:1 are any more common than a normal distrobution would dictate, or easy to get. However I am only in my first year, and not sure how grading works, i mean surley marks are adjusted to fit an even distrobution, hence the standard of students shouldn't matter as marks should be distrobuted normally, even if this means that the "actual" boundaries are higher.
I'm not sure if i'm making sense but i'm under the impression that the bottom % get a fail / 3rd regardless of their mark. |

im in my 3rd year so i did the old style A-Levels hence the difference in entrance grade. The grade boundaries are the same whatever uni you are at-
fail < 40
3rd 40-49
2:2 50-59
2:1 60-69
1st 70 +
last year there were 4 1st's, 6 2:2's and approx 100 2:1's on my course at my uni.
