AQA (Alliance for Assessment and Qualification Certification) is the most authoritative examination bureau in Britain.
In April 2000, the evaluation and qualification alliance was formed by the merger of the Joint Examination Committee and the Northern Examination and Evaluation Committee. At present, AQA is one of the three major certification bodies in Britain and enjoys a high reputation internationally. AQA is an independent non-profit certification body. AQA has dozens of exams around the world, including GCSE, GCE, GNVQ, VCE, entry level and so on. There are more than 75 million candidates all over the world. The purpose of AQA is to achieve candidates' own goals through the best evaluation training, so that the results are true and credible.
In 20 15, AQA and Oxford University Press set up a three-year "Oxford AQA International Examination", which entered China in September of 20 17, so most domestic media reports called it Oxford AQA.
Characteristics of subject setting of AQA examination bureau
At present, AQA Examination Bureau includes English, Mathematics and Science.
In English literature, the HKEA has maximized the scope and flexibility of text selection, especially for international candidates, and selected highly respected literary works from all over the world to meet the needs of candidates from different countries.

Even the vocabulary used in the question, AQA carefully refers to the most classic 3000 words in Oxford 3000 words to ensure that international candidates will not be unable to answer because they can't understand the question. (such a thoughtful examination bureau, there is no sei. )
After AQA Examination Bureau settled in China, the overall examination content and syllabus were adjusted according to the situation of students in China. The AQA Examination Bureau also hopes to maximize the true level and ability of candidates outside the UK while maintaining the difficulty of the examination.
Scoring characteristics of AQA examination bureau
After AQA entered China, it abandoned the traditional scoring system of A*-G on GCSE, and chose the 9- 1 scoring system synchronized with the UK, with 9 being the highest score, higher than the previous A*.
The new grading system can better distinguish ordinary students from excellent students, and select students who study better through higher standard score. Therefore, it is very beneficial for top, excellent and top-notch partners to settle in China and implement the 9-point scoring standard.
