A-Level

A-levels (Advanced Levels) are specialized exams taken by students in the UK typically at age 18, after completing their secondary education. They focus on a few key subjects chosen by the student, allowing for in-depth study. A-levels are used for university entrance, vocational training, or employment preparation, and their results are a standard measure of academic achievement. The courses usually last two years, with exams at the end testing knowledge, understanding, and analytical skills in each subject. They are recognized internationally as a mark of advanced secondary education and academic readiness.
