Are exams getting easier

In my day we felt our O level and A level exams were really really hard and worked all year to be halfway ready for them.

I have just been reading that yet again there are record results for this years A levels but from what I see a large number of kids can´t read, spell unless it is in txt, or string two words together.

What do you think were exams harder when we were young or is it just our perception?

Over to you guys

I think more children are falling by the wayside. In this day and age everyone should be able to read and write by the time they have been in Primary school for a couple of years at least

I think some of the subjects they do these days make it easier. I certainly don't think they are getting any brighter

They are made easier so as government figures look better.
