Why A-Level physics students are doubly penalised by grading severity
Not only is physics graded more severely than other subjects at A level, students who take it often do so alongside other severely graded subjects.
Does taking A-Level maths improve your grades in physics and computer science?
We compare the A-Level results of students who take A-Level maths and those who don't. We also look at the severity of grading in A-Level physics while we're at it.
