A-Level curriculum, namely GCE A-Level, is a national high school curriculum system in Britain, also known as? British college entrance examination? . In Britain, students who want to continue their studies in universities need to complete two years of A-Level courses before they can enter universities. For China students, it is also one of the thresholds to enter Britain or other Commonwealth countries.
In Britain, senior two students need to take the Advanced Certificate of General Education exam, that is, A-LEVEL exam. The A-LEVEL exam is equivalent to the college entrance examination in China, and its courses include English language, literature, mathematics and economics. Students also have to take exams for elective subjects. Only those who have achieved excellent results in the A-LEVEL exam can be admitted to first-class universities.
Unlike China, the closer you get to the exam, the tighter you hold it, and the more nervous the candidates are. Two weeks before the A-LEVEL exam, middle schools in Britain have a holiday, so students can go home and review by themselves. School teachers don't do any activities such as guessing questions or reviewing and summarizing. A-LEVEL test scores are divided into eight grades: A, B, C, D, E, F and G, and the last grade is represented by U.
The difference in education system is the root of the difference between the two exams. Senior high schools in Britain are divided into two stages: GCSE and A-Level. GCSE course is suitable for children of 13- 16, which is similar to senior one courses in China. A-Level is mainly aimed at children of 16- 18, and it is divided into two stages: AS and A2. University enrollment not only depends on A-Level scores, but also has certain requirements for GCSE scores. GCSE is the main examination for British students to complete the first stage of secondary education, which is equivalent to the diploma of China junior high school graduation examination.
English high school graduates only need to study 12 years. As long as they successfully pass the A-LEVEL exam, they can successfully enter the university, but the epidemic situation in Britain has not been alleviated, and their college entrance examination cannot be carried out normally.
