What is AS-level?
AS- level is a UK qualification. It is in-between an O and an A-level and it is not AO-level. A-level courses usually last two years. In the first year of study, a student is able to take up to four, or five subjects at Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level; receiving a qualification for each subject they pass. In the second year of study, the student can continue to study three of those subjects in greater depth and if they successfully complete the course, the AS-level will contribute to the final A-level pass for that subject. The second year unit cannot alone result in a qualification. AS-level is half an A-level.
