A-Level scores are divided into six grades: A, B, C, D, E and U, with A being the best and U failing. For students who want to enter the world's top universities, they need at least all A's or even A*.
A-Level has seven examination bureaus: AQA, OCR, CIE, Edexcel, ICAAE, WJEC and CCEA.
However, there are only three examination bureaus that China students can take part in, namely CIE in Cambridge, Edexcel in Pearson and AQA in Oxford.
Since AQA was introduced to China for a short time, most of the courses offered by A-Level high schools in Shanghai are mainly CIE and Edexcel. CAIE's course is tailored for international students, and the course content can be applied to all kinds of schools. The flexibility of the course is relatively large, and the cultural differences in different regions will also be considered in the course setting and topic style. CAIE's exam is divided into different papers, but all the papers in a certain course need to be completed at one time, and all courses must be completed before taking the exam. CIE examination time is May to June every year,10-165438+10 month. Aidesi is the largest certification body in the UK and the only institution in the UK that can issue academic examination certificates and vocational education qualification certificates.
