GCE Advanced Levels are the long established \u2018gold standard\u2019 of the British education system.\u00a0 Universities around the world like A Level students because of their advanced level learning in subjects they will study at university.<\/p>\n

AS Level is the first half of an A Level; A2 is the second half, with both the AS and A2 combining to make a full A Level.\u00a0 Undergraduates in overseas universities have generally followed this pattern in their final years of secondary education:<\/p>\n<\/div>

Grades\u00a0 a^ \u2013 e\u00a0 are passes at AS and A* \u2013 E are passed at A Level, though Universities will normally specify higher grades in specific subjects relevant to the subjects to be studied at University.\u00a0 A* grades were awarded at A level for the first time in May\/June 2010; the a^ grade remains the highest award at AS level. Generally, students following an A Level programme are required to have a minimum of 3 A level passes for entry to overseas Universities and this eliminates the need for a foundation year at University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
