> Flexibility
Schools and students find A and AS Levels very flexible. Schools can offer almost any combination of the wide choice of subjects available. Students have the freedom to select the subjects that are right for them – either follow a broad course of study, or specialize in a particular area.

Students can choose from a range of assessment options:
Option 1:  Take all papers of the international A Level course in the same examination session, usually at the end of the second year of study

Option 2:Take a 'staged' assessment route – take the international AS Level in one examination session and complete the final international A Level at a subsequent session*

Option 3:Take the international AS Level only, either at the end of a one-year or two-year course. The international AS syllabus content is half an A Level program.

* The staged assessment route is not possible in all subjects. The outcomes awarded for AS language syllabuses cannot be carried forward to A Level.
