A-level (Advanced level) is a British exam taken in a particular subject, usually in the final

year of school. A-levels are still the most common way of fulfilling the entry requirements for

degree courses in universities. Most students in the UK start preparing for A-level exams when they

are aged around sixteen or seventeen and courses normally last for two years, although some

independent colleges and some colleges of further education offer intensive one-year A-level

courses. Students usually take between two and four subjects at one time and will normally be

expected to have a GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) or equivalent qualification in

the subjects they wish to take at A-level. Assessment for most subjects is in the form of written

exam at the end of the course. Passes are graded between A and E with A being the highest. An AS

level (Advanced Supplementary) is of an equivalent standard to an A-level but has half the subject

content. In terms of entrance requirements for a degree course, two AS levels count as one A-level.

AS levels are sometimes taken by students who feel that it is too early to specialize and wish to take

a wider variety of subjects.
