This is a question Modern Life

Modern life is Rubbish, suggested Damian Allbran of Pulp

30 years ago there was no A* grade.
There currently is one.

So, assuming an approximately even level of intelligence, and that the smartest kids get the top grades, then the A from back in the day is equivalent to the A* of today. Therefore today's A isn't as good.

Yeah. You're not even going to scrape a 'B' with logic like that.

I like to claim that my D grade A-level, attained whilst at grammar school, must be equivalent to a B attained at a comprehensive school.
Doesn't make it true, though.
