How A Levels are structured
Since the 2015 reform, A Levels in England are mostly linear: all marks rest on papers taken in May–June at the end of the course. AS is now a separate qualification on most boards rather than half the A Level, even though some international boards still run an AS/A2 split.
Grades run A* to E, sciences carry a practical endorsement that is run by the school, and university offers are made from the final grades you achieve.
