GCE Advanced Level in Sri Lanka

<p>
The Sri Lankan Advanced Level (A-level), formerly known as the Higher School Certificate (HSC), is a <a href="/facts/General_Certificate_of_Education/EFtNJEDP">General Certificate of Education</a> (GCE) qualification exam in <a href="/facts/Education_in_Sri_Lanka/MbQVJNdj">Sri Lanka</a>, similar to the <a href="/facts/United_Kingdom/kuPAILt2">British</a> <a href="/facts/Advanced_Level_(UK)/cEf93WEY">Advanced Level</a>. It is conducted annually by the <a href="/facts/Department_of_Examinations/h0s2RFY7">Department of Examinations</a> under the <a href="/facts/Ministry_of_Education_(Sri_Lanka)/2ElzzTpm">Ministry of Education</a>. Typically, students take this exam during their final two years of <a href="/facts/Education_in_Sri_Lanka/MbQVJNdj">college-level</a> education (Grades 12 and 13, usually at ages 17–19), or as external (non-school) candidates after completing the <a href="/facts/General_Certificate_of_Education/EFtNJEDP">GCE</a> <a href="/facts/Ordinary_Level_(SL)/hgocfs3X">Ordinary Level</a> exams. The majority of candidates enter the exam through their respective schools, but those who have completed their school education can also apply as private candidates. The qualification also serves as an entrance requirement for Sri Lankan state universities. The exams are offered in three mediums: <a href="/facts/Sinhala_language/qfPUFGYS">Sinhala</a>, <a href="/facts/Tamil_language/7I0lHL0d">Tamil</a>, and <a href="/facts/English_language/tpkxGt7b">English</a>.
