They were when I did my maths A levels (1999).

Hehe yes, I went to a sixth form college to do my A levels because schools 
in my area tended to finish at 16 and not offer A levels at all.  Then I 
left this college at 18 to go to another college, which was part of a 
university - grande confusione!
