do you think this is case, that students are making choices that mean more will make 'good' decisions and so less theres less chance of failing, sort of linked to the crappy courses too, cause the pass rate at sciences probably stays the same or is increasing as less, more dedicated students take it

That is an interesting article, it raises some good points. I chose to do A Levels in subjects I enjoy and was interested in them so chances are I am not going to not enjoy them or get bored and not want to work. Also if someone passes an AS Level with a high grade like an A or a B, they will already have a lower pass at A Level with a D or an E so if a student has done well at AS, it is pretty much impossible to fail an A Level.
