AS-Level vs A-Level

What is as-level vs a-level?

Since the 2015 A-Level reform in England, AS-Levels are standalone Level 3 qualifications that no longer count towards the A-Level grade. A linear A-Level is examined entirely at the end of two years. Some schools still enter Year 12 students for AS exams as a confidence-building checkpoint. AS-Levels are graded A–E; A-Levels are graded A*–E. Welsh and Northern Irish AS-Levels still feed into the full A-Level.
