It is available as an alternative qualification in other countries. Students generally study for A levels over a two-year period. For much of their history, A levels have been examined by "terminal" examinations taken at the end of these two years.

AS is still offered, but as a separate qualification; AS grades no longer count towards a subsequent A level. Most stude ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
