The '''A'''dvanced '''Level''' General Certificate of Education it is now compulsory for intake 2008 and lower years (unless you go to a college). It is split into 2 levels.
 
  
'''A'''dvanced '''S'''ubsidary '''Level''' or AS Level studied in Lower Sixth.
 
 
'''A'''dvanced Level '''2''' or A2 studied in upper sixth - usally a continuation of your AS subjects. 
 
 
They are graded on a scale of A* to E like [[GCSE]]s with a U for Unrecognised. According to several teachers no one understood the A* grade in the 2009 - 2010 when it was introduced so it caused a mess with University applications.
 
 
You usually study 4 subjects you want to do at AS level but drop one so only 3 are studied for the full two years. Along the way a [[Critical Thinking]] AS and [[General Studies]] A-Level are forced upon you.
 
 
These exams are often said to be getting easier by people who have never sat them.
