Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to

each of the questions.

In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The

National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and

when they have to take assessment tests.

Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of

Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for

GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must

also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do

not take exams in these subjects.

At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually. take A

(Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National

Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one

AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.

Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To

go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.

AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German

pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature

exam.

GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as

Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced

level) is equal to two A levels.
