What You Need to Know About A-Level
A-Level Exams and UK University Entry
A-Level (Advanced Level) is one of the cornerstones of the UK education system, advanced academic exams designed for students aged 16-18. Managed by two main exam boards: Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and Edexcel (Pearson). Students typically choose 3-4 subjects graded A*-E. A* and A grades are required for entry to the UK's Russell Group universities and the world's most prestigious schools.
A-Level results are used directly for UK university applications through UCAS. Universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, LSE, UCL, and Edinburgh consider A-Level scores as the primary admission criterion. Canadian, Australian, Hong Kong, and Singapore universities also accept A-Level results.
At TestPrep, we offer A-Level preparation programs fully aligned with both Cambridge CIE and Edexcel curricula. We support both AS and A2 stages. Our tutors have examiner backgrounds and complete mastery of mark scheme criteria.

Quick Answers
What is A-Level?
A-Level is the post-16 university-entry qualification used in England and Wales. Students typically take 3-4 subjects, each graded A*-E. Top universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, LSE and Imperial accept A-Levels for direct entry.
How many A-Level subjects should I take?
Three A-Levels is the standard for UK admissions; Oxbridge and medicine/engineering applicants often add Further Mathematics as a fourth. English-medium programmes in Türkiye also accept three A-Levels as a recognised standard.
What are AS and A2?
In the reformed (linear) UK system, A-Level is a single two-year qualification; AS exists as a standalone certificate but does not contribute to the final A-Level grade. In the modular Cambridge International system, AS makes up 50% of the A-Level total.
How do I get an A*?
Cambridge International A-Level usually requires ~90% and a strong AS-A2 balance for an A*. Reformed UK A-Levels grade A* on top-end papers (typically ~80%+); the threshold varies by subject and board (Edexcel/AQA/CIE).
Which A-Level boards do you support?
Most international schools in Türkiye use Cambridge International (CAIE); some use Edexcel International A-Level (Pearson). We work with both, using the matching syllabus, past papers and mark schemes.
A-Level structure at a glance
Most A-Level subjects have 2-4 papers; sciences add a practical or planning component.
AS papers
- ·
- 40-50% (CAIE)
Sat at end of Year 12; counts towards the A-Level in modular boards
A2 papers
- ·
- 50-60% (CAIE)
Sat at end of Year 13; deeper synoptic content
Practical (Sciences)
- ·
- 20-25%
Lab practical or planning paper for Bio/Chem/Physics
Coursework (selected subjects)
Portfolio/project for Art, Design, Computer Science, etc.
Reformed UK A-Levels are fully linear (assessed at end of Year 13); CAIE retains modular AS + A2 sittings.
A-Level grade bands
Cambridge usually awards A* near 90%+ raw marks; common requirement at Oxbridge and for medicine/engineering.
Common target for top UK universities and English-medium programmes in Türkiye.
Sufficient for many engineering and social-science programmes.
C-D varies in scholarship and entry contexts; E is the lowest pass.
Universities typically issue conditional offers in 3-A-Level grade combinations: AAA, AAB, ABB, etc.
