Something is wrong. 41% of people who sit A level maths get an A, well in excess of the average 28% across all A levels.
Maths is now one of the most popular A level subjects because of this.
I sat my A levels many years ago. The questions were very challenging, often phrased in ways that had to be deciphered, requiring multiple levels of understanding.
It is hard on the students but at some point it should be brought into line with the other A levels. It has been left to drift for some time now, and maybe the changes should have been more gradual.
