A-Levels Reviews

My experiences with A levels were fairly positive. I had thre choices as to where i could study my a levels; i could either stay on at my school and go to their sixth form, i could go to the local sixth form college that is purely a level, or i could go to the city college which teaches a wide variety of courses including a levels to awide variety ...  Read the complete review

A levels.. where do i start, There are to main places you can chose to study A levels if thats the route you decide to go down, at a school's 6th form or at a college which is specifically for A level students. The main difference between the 2 i think is 6th form colleges tend to be alot bigger .. sometimes thousands of students in the case of ...  Read the complete review

I have had the delights of doing A Levels since 2001 and I will be leaving to go to uni later this year (if all goes well). This review is generally about A Levels, college and other fun topics such as applying to uni that 16-18 year olds get to experience. It is aimed at said students as well as parents and those thinking about A Levels. ...  Read the complete review

I don't know whether this category wants general comments on A-levels, parents experiences or guides to A-levels for parents. Who knows, maybe even all three, but what I'm going to do is give advice to parents from the viewpoint of someone who has just finished their A levels. The first, and biggest difference between A levels and ...  Read the complete review

Some people think that to be successful in A-level Art,all you have to do is splat a bit of paint on a canvas when you feel the inspiration.Believe me they are soooooooo wrong! I took my exam under the EDEXEL examining body. I thought all examining boards wanted the same thing,but it turned out that some had a more stronger ...  Read the complete review

My son is a guinea-pig, the whole of his educational life he has been a guinea-pig; this time it is AS levels. I live in Kent where we still have selective education and there are a number of Grammar schools. I am not going into whether or not that is fair, but its a fact. What this means of course is that the children in these schools are ...  Read the complete review

After the past few weeks debating over AS levels I thought I would voice my opinion. And I have to say this, they are the stupidest thing the government ever did! Firstly Universities do not pay attention to them and who is to know which Universities do and which ones don't??! Secondly to have to take major exams 3years in a row is a ...  Read the complete review

I am not a parent who has children old enough to sit their A level exams. However, I ‘am’ a parent and it has not been long since I sat exams, and I know how my parents went about it. Having a child of my own now and having gone through what I did during my exams has given me some ideas about what I will do when my daughter is old ...  Read the complete review

Every year the media noise about GCSE, A level and degree examinations gets more and more hysterical and if my experience is anything to go by (fairly recent), it only serves to worry students to an ever greater extent. I admit that I am lucky. I enjoy exams and miss them. But I acknowledge that others are not the same (presumably they ...  Read the complete review

I'm afraid I am short of a simple pre-requisite in order to write this review from a parent's point of view. That is, I have no children, never mind any who have sat exams! However, I am in a position to state what it is like to be on the receiving end of parental and other exam pressures and attitudes, as it hasn't been that long ...  Read the complete review

A-levels....yes, it sends dread through many people! I'd always been pretty clever at school (not that im blowing my own trumpet or anything!). For many, many years I have wanted to become a vet. I mean what a great job that is! Combining my love of both animals and science nicely. *However* there is just one major problem with ...  Read the complete review

I just wanted to write this opinion/advice for anyone who is considering A Levels, or parents who have children considering them. I did my A Level courses from September 1998 up until my last exam in June 2000. I know that the way A Levels are now done changed the year after I did mine, but one of my subjects was Business Studies, which ...  Read the complete review

This year is the last year of A levels as we know them. Any of us who have done A levels will have done a 2 year course or for those who wanted to do them quickly a 1 year course. The A levels done have covered many subjects and come in many forms some based soley on end of course exams while others have had exams and maybe course work ...  Read the complete review

In the recent revelation where A level papers were on sale for £400.00, I think that the examination board should have sent out the backup papers in time for the actual exams. The costs for investigating potential cheats, and the disruption to other students could have all been prevented. I feel its a gross misjustice to all students that have ...  Read the complete review
