I'm not sure how to put this tactfully, so I won't...
How anyone can suggest that a GCSE can be comparable with A-Levels, a Degree or ATPLs is beyond me.
GCSEs were easy when I did them, probably easier now, and the jump between GCSEs and A-Levels is known to be larger than the jump from A-Levels and a Degree. Do you even need to 'know' anything to pass a GCSE?!
Gee, I'm amazed at this discussion, I thought ATPL exams were supposed to be hard! If they're the same as GCSEs I'll pass easily!!!
BUT I don't believe that's the case at all. IT flies in the face of logic and common-sense. In fact, despite having a Degree and being a qualified solicitor I don't mind admitting I'll have to work my arse off to get my ATPLs!
