Question: are gcses or a levels harder?
Answer: A-Level exams are usually longer than GCSE exams, as there is more content you have to be assessed on. However, as you only study 3 A-Levels instead of around 9 GCSEs, you will have much fewer exams during the exam season at the end of Year 13. They also tend to be harder than GCSE exams, funnily enough.
