Acca exams/papers

I have no idea who 'some people' may be, but they are talking nonsense!!! The level of difficulty is pretty consistent in all sittings. The pass rate is sometimes lower in March and September, but this is not because the exams are harder but because more people are taking the exams then who have failed several times before and are therefore weaker in whatever the exam is. People who fail an exam often say that the exam was harder previous exams - they are making an excuse for themselves for failing!!!
