I have done exams at GCSE and I have done other forms of assesments that I do now in college, we do a written logbook (Kinda coursework) then we video our lessons and we video our physical assesments for performances. I prefer it this way and it helps get the mark we deserve.
There is nothing crappier than a drama exam, they should be completely scrapped and replaced with coursework. The prospect of an exam for something physical is beyond me, might as well call it english. Also coursework isn't always stolen from the internet, if there is only a few schools per different coursework criteria/style. So they all have different questions therefore more difficult to cheat.

Also, if people do copy from the internet they do have to state it, if people dont say and they pass it off as their own then they have an extremely big chance of being caught. Examiners know the big websites that help with cheating they are not stupid. They can tell by the way its wrote and can compare it to other pieces of work. I just don't think its fair to judge a whole year or 2 years worth of learning on a 3 hour exam. Anything could happen, you could miss the exam, or you could not be well. And there is no way round it so I personally believe there should be an alternative to exams. But if it is to be replaced with coursework then it needs a new direction and some new moderation to it, stricter moderation.
But the BTEC way of doing things during college years is so much better than A - level's way of doing things, it gives people a better chance to earn their grades. And have chance to improve on it, as an exam isnt a way to wittle down who is bad and who is good, its to test how much we know, and if we go blank that day its not fair, tests arent a test on who can handle the pressure most. There should be other ways to see how much people know.
Maybe even longer time limits, just so people dont rush, the amount of times i have heard someone has messed up on their exam because they didnt have enough time.
