What is the point of A levels, when you don't need the grades anyway.
Everyone I know this year who did A levels, told me that if they didn't get the grades that they needed, the University still offered them a place anyway.
Eg the Uni says you must get ABB to get into the course. The student got CCC. The student was offered a place in the Uni anway.
I was talking to my colleague about it. He said that he got really bad grades in his A levels, way lower than what was required to get in, and the Uni still let him in to the course straight away.
The point then is - what is the point of A levels at all.
The Unis want paying students to go to their Uni to keep them going. A lot of them let any student in, no matter what grades they get.
So why make students go through the farcical system of A levels?
