Generation Exam Cast: Were Exams Really Harder “Back in My Day”?

This week on the Generation GapCast, we put nostalgia to the test. Literally.

As GCSE exam mock season hits, Yoni challenges his dad to sit  'basic' foundation exam questions in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Maths… live, with no Googling and no mercy!

From bacterial cells to bus-stop division, with self-heating tea mugs and thermal conductivity, the episode turns into a hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful look at how exams, education standards, and “useful knowledge” have (or haven’t) changed across generations.

Are today’s exams easier, harder, or just different?

How much of what we learned at school actually sticks?

Expect laughs, mild panic, parental pride, and a healthy dose of generational perspective.
