Questions about A Levels
In some subjects, there is a small amount of assessment during the course, but mainly you will take formal exams at the end of the course. These exams are set by government approved examination boards across the whole of the UK, so the grades you get are highly valuable formal external qualifications.
A level results are published nationally in August each year. Grades range from A* (pronounced A-star) down to E.
A levels are graded A*, A, B, C, D or E where A* is the highest grade and E is the lowest. Students must achieve an E grade or above to pass.
A level results for schools in England released in August each year.
