    The A Level is a 2-year post-secondary qualification in the UK and is equivalent to the final two years of secondary school. Students typically choose 3 subjects to study in depth to help them gain acceptance to university. A Levels are more challenging than GCSEs, so students are recommended to achieve at least a Grade 6 or 7 in their chosen subjects. Students may change subjects within the first few weeks, and early assessments can help determine if a subject is suitable. Preparation over the summer break is important for the increased difficulty of A Levels.

    Introduction to A Levels

    The Advanced Level (A Level) is a subject-based qualification linked to the British Curriculum, designed for
    students aged 16 and above. International A Levels are qualifications of equivalent status and, as with A
    Levels, are normally studied over the course of 2 years (with the AS Level – Advanced Subsidiary – a
    qualification which can be taken at the end of the first year, and for certain subjects contributing to the final
    A Level grade). A Levels are one of the world’s foremost qualifications for entry into universities.

    At St Andrew’s the majority of our students will take 3 A Levels (with most higher education institutions
    primarily interested in the top three grades that students achieve); however, some who prove themselves
    capable are permitted to study 4 A Levels. Please note that, given the increased challenge of A Levels as
    compared to GCSEs, students should achieve a Grade 6 or 7 in their chosen subjects (with certain subject
    such as Mathematics requiring a strong 7), and ideally a Grade 8 in chosen subjects if studying 4 A Levels.

    Given these minimum entry requirements (which are in place to help guide students down the paths of most
    likely success), there are inevitably changes to A Level choices in the first day or two of Term, with students
    also allowed to change subjects due to preference as long as they are signed off by parents within the first
    three weeks of the Christmas Term. Choosing the most suitable A Levels is a crucial factor in the chances of
    success for students, and early assessment marks can also help guide on suitability for A Levels.

    However, while there is the possibility of students needing or deciding to change a subject choice for their A
    Level, it is important to prepare well for the step up from GCSEs to College. With this in mind, the links to
    each subject below will give a sense of what each A Level entails and, more importantly, how to prepare for
    them over the long holiday. Students should click on the links for their chosen three (or four) subjects and,
    as a minimum, complete the core tasks identified to help them be ready to make a start on their A Levels.
