A-level

<h2 id="current-usage">Current usage</h2>
Several countries use A-levels as a school-leaving qualification. The A-levels taken by students in other countries may differ from the A-levels taken in the United Kingdom.

<h3>International usage</h3>
Many schools in countries world-wide offer A-Levels through international cross-border exam boards, which include <a href="/facts/Cambridge_Assessment_International_Education/A50yPesn">Cambridge International Education</a> (CIE), <a href="/facts/Pearson_Edexcel/CmoFcRve">Pearson Edexcel</a>, and OxfordAQA.

<h3>Bangladesh</h3>
In Bangladesh, the <a href="/facts/GCE_Advanced_Level_(United_Kingdom)/cEf93WEY">GCE AS and A-level</a> are offered by <a href="/facts/Cambridge_Assessment_International_Education/A50yPesn">Cambridge International Education (CIE)</a> and <a href="/facts/Edexcel/CmoFcRve">Pearson Edexcel</a> after completion of <a href="/facts/GCE_Ordinary_Level/JYk2kDHl">GCE O-level</a> or <a href="/facts/International_General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education/VmrmQXjW">IGCSE</a> (CIE), and is conducted by the <a href="/facts/British_Council/zdz5k2sS">British Council</a>. GCE Advanced Level qualifications are offered by some of the private, public, and international schools as an alternative to HSC (<a href="/facts/Higher_Secondary_School_Certificate/mqrMt4Km">Higher Secondary School Certificate</a>) offered by the Government Board of Education. It has become a popular choice among students, but due to financial implications, its reach is limited to the middle and upper classes in major cities such as <a href="/facts/Dhaka/8IYAkBh9">Dhaka</a> and <a href="/facts/Chittagong/sRgSHwPL">Chittagong</a>.

<h3>Brunei</h3>
In <a href="/facts/Brunei/dyz9JUn8">Brunei</a>, the A-level qualification is offered, with examinations conducted by <a href="/facts/Cambridge_Assessment_International_Education/A50yPesn">Cambridge International Education</a> (CIE). Some subjects are unique to Brunei or have a format, curriculum, or syllabus that is unique to Brunei.

<h3>Cameroon</h3>
The Advanced Level of Cameroon is based on the <a href="/facts/Cambridge_International_Examinations/A50yPesn">Cambridge International Education</a> and similarly, conducted by the government of Cameroon in collaboration with Cambridge University. All the courses taken are related to what the candidate is willing to pursue a career in university and these courses are on a recognizable international standard for university entrance; as they are major relevant courses. You can select between 3 and 5 courses during your advanced level studies, prior to taking your advanced level examination on which.

<h3>Hong Kong</h3>
The British A-level qualifications such as GCE A-level and International A-level are widely accepted in Hong Kong as an alternative to the <a href="/facts/Hong_Kong_Diploma_of_Secondary_Education/WN0CLYvg">Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education</a> for both admission and employment purposes. It is one of the most popular qualifications used for university admission via the non-<a href="/facts/Joint_University_Programmes_Admissions_System/b6wmNLf2">JUPAS</a> channel. For example, average non-JUPAS offers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology require one to three A*s (the mid-50% range). Since the introduction of the high distinction grade (A*) in 2010, the British A-level examination has regained its power to differentiate the very top levels of ability. According to the British Department for Education, in the academic year 2014/15, approximately 7.3%, 2.7%, 1.0%, and 0.3% of all the candidates from the GCSE cohort (548,480) achieved one to four A*s or a better result in the GCE A-level examination. This percentile rank is one important input for equating the levels in both examinations. On the sole basis of percentile ranks and the grade statistics from HKEAA in 2017, a score of 29/35 from the best five subjects in <a href="/facts/Hong_Kong_Diploma_of_Secondary_Education/WN0CLYvg">Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education</a> is comparable to 1A*2A in the best three British A-levels, 32/35 to 2A*1A, 33/35 to 3A* and 34/35 to 4A*. In deriving inferences from these statistics, it is important to note that slightly more than a third of the GCSE candidates can go on to study in the sixth form before applying to universities via <a href="/facts/UCAS/XoUmpjHg">the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)</a> while almost all Hong Kong students can study Form 6 before sitting the HKDSE examination.
Relevant authorities such as the <a href="/facts/HKEAA/e5Y51Q5r">Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority (HKEAA)</a> and UCAS also sought to connect the results from both exam systems to open doors for the holders of these qualifications who wish to study locally or overseas. Officially, the top distinction levels, A* in A-level and 5** in HKDSE, are currently recognized as broadly equivalent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> In particular, in the light of statistical evidence, the 1% cut-off line is often set by admission offices at 2A*1A as compared to a score of 43/45 in the <a href="/facts/International_Baccalaureate/qJv39Qhr">International Baccalaureate</a> Diploma but the Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) instead of the letter grades would be used in many cases to offer a much more subtle view of the candidate's academic potential. Typical offers from Cambridge Medical School require 2A*1A and <a href="/facts/Oxford_University_Medical_School/zw35AGhm">Oxford University Medical School</a> require 1A*2A whereas those from the medical and dentistry schools of the University of Hong Kong and the <a href="/facts/Chinese_University_of_Hong_Kong/chBu9VNh">Chinese University of Hong Kong</a> require 4A* and 3A* respectively in A-level due to fierce competition.

<h3>Macau</h3>

Students in <a href="/facts/Macau/KEm5w6xH">Macau</a> can take the Cambridge exam board as well as the Edexcel exam board at their school. It is one of the most popular qualifications for the students who want to pursue their university study in UK, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand. International Advanced Level qualification is also accepted by Macau local universities for applying for direct admission, the applicants with IAL qualification are not required to take the Joint Admission Examination for Macao Four Higher Education Institution.

<h3>India</h3>

<h3>Tanzania</h3>
A-level is an education structure after the completion of 11 years of Universal Primary Education (UPE). Universal Primary Education consists of two levels, the primary school level of seven years and ordinarily secondary level, of four years.
Students are then required to sit for the National Examination which is done on a specific month in a certain year. The exams are done throughout the country on the same date provided by the examination board. Examinations will depend on the cluster and core subjects in which a student shall take. There are three major clusters, namely science, business, and liberal arts plus core subjects of which are seven in total or more. Students who will then pass according to the National Examination Standards shall be selected to join Advanced Secondary Education and are selected according to the subjects they passed the most and by their will to pursue certain subjects.
There are only three core subjects to study in Advanced Level and one or more optional subjects to sit for the Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE). Then students are awarded Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education only if they have passed. The pass marks are arranged according to grades and the grades will determine whether a student will qualify to join tertiary education.
A-level education is a two years education which is offered by the government and non-government schools. It is regulated by the Ministry of Education which assures both qualitative and quantitative subject matters and there is a special independent council that is responsible in composing the Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE) namely The National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA).

It is among the requirements for one to join a university in Uganda. The advanced level takes two years for one to complete.

<h4>A-level reforms in England</h4>
Between 2015 and 2018 (first assessment Summer 2017), A-levels in England were reformed, transitioning from a modular to linear structure (initially across 13 subjects). This means all A-level exams are taken in one sitting as a set of terminal exams (three exams for the majority of subjects), and there is no coursework set for many subjects. For A-levels that retain a coursework element, the percentage of the final grade determined by coursework has been reduced. An example of this can be seen in <a href="/facts/Edexcel/CmoFcRve">Edexcel</a>'s new English Literature A-level, reformed in 2015, which reduces the amount of coursework to 20% (from 40% in the old modular specification). A-levels are no longer separated into units, and students must resit all of their exams if they wish to resit the qualification. While these reforms were expected to be complete for first teaching in 2017, this was extended to 2018 to include the reforms of less common languages such as <a href="/facts/Modern_Hebrew/xIj94mYw">Modern Hebrew</a> and <a href="/facts/Bengali_language/twpKobqA">Bengali</a>.
The AS-level is now a separate qualification and is not required for an A-level award, although it still encompasses the first year of the full A-level content. However, unlike AS-levels in the old modular courses, they are now worth only 40% as many UCAS points as a full A-level (from 50% in the modular courses), as content from the second year of A-level is considered more academically challenging than that of the first year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:295" href="#fn:295">295</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:296" href="#fn:296">296</a>
As these reforms took place in stages, many students took a combination of modular and linear courses before all reforms were complete, with AS-levels still being part of an A-level in older modular courses.
These reforms look to combat <a href="/facts/Grade_inflation/DvjJNrvn">grade inflation</a>, where the proportion of students achieving the highest grades increases year upon year, causing the value of those grades to be eroded. The modular system has also been criticised for nurturing a 'resit culture',<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:297" href="#fn:297">297</a> while new linear courses give no opportunity to resit individual units.
Controversially, some A-level course subjects have been abolished since 2017 as part of these reforms. These include archaeology, anthropology, creative writing, critical thinking, general studies, and home economics. Many universities criticized the scrapping of exams taken at the end of AS-level, which used to be worth 50% of the overall A-level grade. This is because the universities used the grades achieved at AS-level (available to universities after a student applies during the second year of A-levels) as an indication of a student's ability and thus whether to give said student an offer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:298" href="#fn:298">298</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:299" href="#fn:299">299</a>
Opposition to these reforms in Wales<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:300" href="#fn:300">300</a> and Northern Ireland has resulted in maintaining the modular structure of their qualification.
In September 2023, it was announced by <a href="/facts/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom/Uf40UlBb">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/facts/Rishi_Sunak/wry2BHbr">Rishi Sunak</a> that the A-level would be scrapped in England and merged with T-levels to form the <a href="/facts/Advanced_British_Standard/Ff3UyjeY">Advanced British Standard</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:301" href="#fn:301">301</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:302" href="#fn:302">302</a> however this was cancelled by the Labour government after their victory in the <a href="/facts/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election/MEpNJrYu">2024 general election</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:303" href="#fn:303">303</a>
