Not quite true.

The FACT exams have got easier has been proven numerous times by an number of independent institutions.

One simple instance is that the University exam to get in has not changed for decades, and yet a large % of A students now fail them.

Another example, students from pre-Labour were given the GCSE paper, while those from today were given the equivalent O Level paper. The GCSE takers all past with an A, the O Level's all failed. They run this test on different people over different subjects.

Before the mid 90's we used to be taught in school the subjects we had taken, now they are taught how to pass an exam. In fact, in some subjects now you get a pass without even taking an exam. ....and 50% of the exam is already complete before they take the paper, that result is decided by the teacher, and strangely they all pass!
