Best ever A-level results, more A grades.

Research by Durham University suggests that most subjects have got two grades easier over the past two decades - this means an A is the new C grade. The same research revealed marked differences between subjects.

All must have prizes, nobody can lose, so nobody can win either, so everybody loses. No fault of teachers or students as the article shows.

Good luck to PHers looking for a uni place. With higher and higher grades, the competition is tough.
