AS-Level

AS-Level (Advanced Subsidiary Level) is a qualification taken by students in the UK, typically around age 16, during their first year of A-Level studies. It serves as an introductory qualification in a particular subject, equivalent to half of the full A-Level. Students usually complete an AS-Level to gauge their interest and ability in a subject before deciding whether to continue to the full A-Level. The AS-Level assessment involves exams or coursework, providing both students and universities with an understanding of academic progress. It is part of the UK secondary education system designed to prepare students for higher education or vocational paths.
