A Levels

GCE A levels are two-year study courses normally taken by students after they have completed their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations. In most cases students should have passed a GCSE in the subject they wish to take at A level, but some subjects (such as Law) are not offered at GCSE level. A levels are seen as one of the main routes into higher education and employment.

A levels offer greater flexibility because of the introduction of AS and A2. Students can decide how many A levels they wish to study, depending on their career choices, ability and the advice given to them by their teachers and the Careers Service. A levels demand more individual, in-depth study than GCSEs and place greater emphasis on traditional study skills.

AS Level

The new AS qualification equates to the first year of study of a traditional A level. The majority of students now take 4 subjects in the first year of post-16 study.  Most AS subjects have 3 assessment units. These units contribute to the full A level which has 6 assessment units. Each unit of the award is equally weighted, with the AS and A2 programmes each accounting for 50% of the overall A level grade. The AS is a qualification in its own right. Coursework can contribute to the result. The AS is graded on an A-E scale.

A2 Level

The programmes of study in the second year of the full A level are called “A2”. A2 units represent the harder elements of the traditional A level. A2 modules do not make up a qualification in their own right but when taken together with the AS units they comprise a full GCE A level. They are graded on an A-E scale. There is a coursework limit with a ceiling of 30% in most subjects. All A levels include an element of synoptic assessment designed to test the candidate’s ability to make connections between different aspects of the subject. The synoptic element will normally contribute 20% to the full A level and takes the form of external assessment at the end of the course.
