[QUOTE=pba_target;11594822]I mean, they're only asking for 2 A-levels at C or above, and it's been like that for around 3 decades I think?
To dive into the numbers a little:
Between 75 and 80% of A-levels taken score C and above and 89% of students sit 2 or more A-levels (most - 70% take 3 or more)
Source gov.uk Around 240,000 students take A-levels each year in England (not counting Wales, Scotland or NI).
Source - BBC.
in the eighties it was 5 o levels passes including maths and english.
