There's actually hardly any difference in the level of difficulty between Maths (Further Maths), Physics, Chemistry and Biology, to name a few A-Levels, now, to when you took them in the 90s.
I can vouch for that, during revision for AS Maths I used a few 90s papers and they're no different to the current ones. Don't believe what you read in the Mail, you know how awful their aviation coverage and I can assure you their educational coverage is just as poor.
