115532Is it this specification?
And what I mean is that A Levels used to be (back in the 70s) where you did all of the exams at the end of two years and that was it. Then they changed to where you did you AS units in the first year, got grades for them and then did A2 units for the second year because AS+A2=A Level. Now, some subjects are going back to the old system, but some have yet to move; they call it de-coupled. So you can take either a one year AS or a two year A Level as separate qualifications often with similar but different content. So for English Lit, psychology and now geography: you do not have to take any exam until the end of year 13. However, many school wrongly (in my view) force their students to take a one year AS course in year 12, followed by a two year A Level course in year 13; in other words 3 years of work in two years. Thankfully, I am not doing this but it still aggravates me that some students get pushed to do this unnecessarily.

115536To point out: you've got your AS exams this year; but next year, those are not A2 exams, they are A Level exams. The AS has no bearing on your A Level whatsoever. You will find that the A Level exams are quite similar to the AS, except that there will be noticeable differences (e.g. different texts for English).
Also, you might want to edit that number.

115540No problem. I don't blame you. I blame the government's education reform. Everyone's struggled to understand it: teachers, students, university admissions etc. If you ever want any help (I'm second year of A Level doing Maths[A2], English and History), feel free to PM me.
