The General Certificate of Education Advanced Level, commonly known as GCE A-Level, is a qualification offered in the United Kingdom and other countries. It is typically taken by students aged 16 to 18 after completing their GCSE exams. A-Levels are subject-specific and are often required for university admission, allowing students to specialize in areas of interest. Students usually choose three to four subjects to study over two years, culminating in exams. The A-Level grading system ranges from A* to E, with A* being the highest. Achieving good A-Level results can significantly impact a student's future educational and career opportunities.
