(also it's gotten more difficult recently. As far as I know, on the modular course, you could resit modules to increase your marks and grade, so grade boundaries were bound to be higher. Also you could forget all the content once that module was done - once you did the statistics module(s), you could forget it all and focus on Mechanics and whatever else. The tests were fairly regularly too I believe? January and May
Us poor sods who decided to be born in September 2000 onwards had to sit a linear A-Level course in which we have to remember 2 years worth of Maths content
it doesn't sound too bad, but when they reformed the A Level they mixed in some Further Maths content. It's became a lot harder, and when I did past papers I was consistently getting As
With the new content it can be so inaccessible
