What is Cambridge A-Level?
A-Levels (Advanced Level qualifications) are subject-based qualifications typically taken over two years by students aged 16-19. They are the primary route to university admission in the UK and widely recognized by universities worldwide. Students usually study 3-4 A-Level subjects, choosing areas they wish to specialize in for university.
A-Levels are graded A* to E, with A* being the highest. AS-Levels (Advanced Subsidiary) represent the first year of A-Level study and are standalone qualifications worth half an A-Level. Major exam boards include Cambridge International (CIE), Edexcel (Pearson), and AQA. Quanta provides specialist A-Level tutors who know the specific requirements of each exam board.
