I do not quite agreed with you. All the good grammer schools in England and Australia use exam to qualify the standard of kids.
In Hong Kong, SiS use Singaporoan system, AIS use Australian system, G ...

What did you not agree with me?
I never said exams are not of significance.
I never said exams are not important.
In fact, I have stressed that exams in IBD are part of the program and are extremely important.

It seems most academic are aware of the the "dumbing down" of A levels and the IB diploma is now becoming very popular. But as usual the UK government is reluctant to change and adopt the IB diploma across Uk because it will mean lower their achievement targets.

Any comments?

I did not have time to go to the links. But I believe there are more than merely educational issues when we are talking about a big change in curriculum.
Honestly speaking, I also do not see why any country should give up their own national curriculum totally.

For those interested, latest video news on entrance exams for UK university candidates because so many students are getting 'A' grades in GCSE A-levels.

not to my surprise, private independant schools - you need to pay, are better than public schools.

This may be true for OXbridge because these universities have lots of money with long queues of students waiting to get in, therefore they are able to choose who they accept. Also the reports generally applies to UK students paying local fees.

I think that apart from Oxbridge, it will generally be eaiser for overseas students to be accepted, whether they take A-levels or IBD, because they pay overseas fee (approximately 3 times the local fee).
