A minimum of 5 passes at grade 5 (including English and Maths). A minimum of 2 grade 6’s in Science.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
