As / A Level Examinations Uk.

In the UK, after you have left school at 16, you have a choice to either get a job, or go on to do further education at either a college or a 6th form school.
There you do another 2 years of education, to gain more qualifications.

At the end of the first year, you take exams called A levels but at A/S level, this equates to half an A level.
To complete the full A level, you have to do another year of education, and then take your full A levels at age 18.

When you have completed your A levels, most people who have taken them go on to go to University.

My eldest Son is taking his last A/S levels today. They have been taking these exams for several weeks now. After this, he will get a break of a few weeks before he goes back into year 13, to work towards taking his full A levels.

The work at this level starts to get even harder than it already is.
