Universities churn out record numbers of top class LLB students

It's not just LLBs The plain fact is that is that it's not just LLBs that are getting easier, but GCSEs and A-levels too. This may sound like just an old fogie's rant, but there is a reason that, for instance, Oxford and Cambridge both have to put straight A A-level students on remedial courses over the summer before they let them begin maths degrees, while 30 years ago students didn't have to do the courses even when they didn't have 3 'A' grades to get in.
