Cambridge International AS Level (standalone AS)

Students take the Cambridge International AS Level only. The syllabus content for Cambridge International AS Level is half of a Cambridge International A Level programme.

Cambridge International A Level (remainder of A Level)

Students take the Cambridge International AS Level in Year 1 and in Year 2 complete the Cambridge International A2 Level.

AS Level & A2 Level (Usual associated with Private/ International School)

  • Both AS and A2 Levels are designed to be year long courses.

    There are two times in the year when you can sit the exams. The first is in May/June, and the second is in October/November.

    Students in the Southern hemisphere usually take the Oct/Nov series and students in the Northern hemisphere usually sit the May/June series because of how school years are structured.

  • One needs to study and complete his AS Level before he takes his A Level. After that, his two scores are averaged (50/50) to produce his overall A Level score. Students usually complete their AS Level in their second to last year of high school and their A2 Level in their last year.

  • An important point to note is that AS and A2 Level papers must be sat within a 12 month period of one another. Otherwise, your AS mark “expires” and you can’t combine it with your A2 mark to gain an A Level qualification.
