    Where did you hear that? Was it about the AS levels? Apparently A Levels are the hardest exams you ever take.

    Thor, I don't think they'll do it so abruptly.

    Yep, it was about the AS courses

    I was only saying that cos I've been swapping subjects around and I really didn't want to do it over again

    Its a lie. They wouldn't have spent all that money on revamping the A-Levels, just to scrap them a year later....

    The biggest mistake they have made is alowing you to drop from 5 AS's to 2 A levels. It should be 3.

    And anyone who thinks that they have been hard done by (by the grade changing) can shove it up their lazy, stupid ass.

    Only one school had its marks changed... So the rest of you are just crap! Get over it.

    I've always thought AS and A levels were the same

    Well, the AS courses are taken at college in the UK and have been for 2/3 years now. There was much speculation about how it was introduced and recently, a handful of students had their courses mismarked, so there was a huge inquiry and someone got fired, the end.

    Peter, Brolly and Myself have just started our A Levels (Peter and I are doing AS, while Brolly is doing GNVQ or NVQ, I can't remember :bugeye: )

    in UK, A-level is 3 subjects, but it is 5 subjects in malaysia, therefore we are more diligent and intelligent than british
