A Level A*–E · AS Level A–E, with no A*
Two years, one grade per subject
A-Level is graded subject by subject from A* to E, with exam series in June and November. Which subjects a student takes, and whether they stage AS first, shapes every offer they can hold.
Our Approach
Take the AS Level alone, which is half the content of an A Level. Or stage it: AS in one series and the full A Level later, with AS marks carried forward twice within 13 months. Or sit all the A Level papers in one session at the end. The staged route is not available in every subject.
There is no aggregate score. A student holds a separate grade in each subject, which is why offers are written as grade combinations — AAB, A*AA — and why one weak subject cannot be averaged away.
AS Level runs from A to E. A student aiming for an A* has to take the full A Level; the AS grade cannot reach it.
A candidate who falls short of grade E at A Level may be awarded a compensatory AS Level, which is not nothing on an application but is not what the offer asked for either.

Both are accepted worldwide. A-Level is narrower and deeper — typically three or four subjects — while the IB requires six plus the core. Offers are set separately for each.

A-Level 课程培训
我们在温哥华和列治文提供 A-Level 课程辅导。A-Level 按科目单独评分，从 A* 到 E，每年 6 月和 11 月两次考试，8 月和次年 1 月放榜。选哪些科目、是否先考 AS，直接决定学生能拿到哪些大学 offer。
AS Level 的内容是 A Level 的一半，通常读一年；A Level 通常两年。AS 没有 A* 等级，只有 A 到 E。
可以。先在一个考季考 AS，之后再完成完整 A Level，AS 成绩可在 13 个月内结转两次。但并非所有科目都支持分阶段。
