Here you go Mike
What are A Levels?
A levels are studied typically between the ages of 16-18 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, although mature students are also encouraged. They remain the most popular route into UK higher education institutions.
How many subjects do I take?
To gain entry to a top UK university you’ll need 3 or 4 good A Level grades, although if you’re exceptionally talented you can take 5 subjects.
What subjects can I study?
There is a broad range of A levels for you to choose from, including Business, Science, Arts and Humanities subjects. At Bellerbys we encourage you to study the subjects you'll enjoy. However, we recommend the following choices in preparation for specific degree areas:
Science, Medicine and Engineering: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Business, Humanities and Law: Maths, Economics, Accountancy, Business Studies, English Literature and Psychology.
What do A Levels consist of?
Each A Level consists of 6 units which are studied in two stages:
Stage 1 – Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level: You’ll study 3 modules and upon completion you’ll be awarded an AS Level.
Stage 2 – A2 level: You’ll study the second set of 3 units which will take your AS level to a full A Level.
Please note: When you have completed the A2 Level, your AS Level grade is transferred to one A Level grade. If you decide not to continue to A2 Level, you can keep your AS Level grade. This can still be used as part of your application to university.
What do my grades mean?
For each A Level subject you take, you’ll receive a grade from A–E. The entrance requirements for the university courses you’ve applied for will be expressed as either:
Grades: AAB, BCC or CCC for example.
A UCAS Tariff score: 360, 300 or 280 for example. |

| Mmm, delicious copypasta.  I skimmed it -- sounds a little like a cross between AP classes (advanced placement) and the SAT over here. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| Yeah, usually just your senior year in high school -- but AP classes aren't necessary to get into college but the SAT almost always is. Crazy, all these ways countries have of filtering admissions. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |
