Study A-levels independently

Hi,

I live in Norway and need a General Certificate of Education (GCE) with 3 A-levels; what does this mean? What's the difference between AS and A2? I don't need a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), by the way. Can I take A-level exams independently without taking a course?

AS is year 1, A2 is year two and is basically a much more detailed and complex version of AS.
You can take A levels independently, just buy the books and other resources you need to study, pay the exam fees and bam.

So, both of them combined makes an A-level? I need 3 A-levels, does that mean i need to sit six exams? Where can I take the exams and can I do all A-levels independently? I heard some A-levels require practicals or something and cannot be taken outside of a course.

USUALLY, A-level subjects have 2 exams at AS and 2 exams at A2. 4 exams for each subject, meaning 12 exams in total for 3 subjects. The A-levels which require practicals are usually just science subjects but things like English, History etc also have a coursework part to send off to the exam board as well. Are there no centres near you which offer A-levels?

Oh, wow. I was thinking about doing 3 A-levels in 1 year, is it possible? I've already studied a lot of maths, so that would mean I am ~halfway (probably more) through one of the subjects. We don't have any exam centres in Norway, especially not offering A-levels, so I would make the travel to England to sit the exams

I can't* take anything other than GCE with 3 A-levels or Cambridge Pre-U Diploma with 3 Principal subjects and Global Perspective and Research. Which one I take depends on which one is easier or more accessible (any ideas?).

I don't necessarily need great grades, I need to pass. I definitely want to take math, maybe Spanish, and an easy subject. Anyone know of easy subjects I can study and sit exams independently with?

I can start studying right away, and I've come pretty far in Maths already. Can I take exams in January 2017 and June 2017?

Does anyone have experience with Oxford Open Learning?

Why aren't you relying on your foreign qualifications though?
It would be much easier to do an A-Level equivalent in Norway though, the Videregående stole, Grades VG1-VG3.

Since the introduction of the reform Kunnskapsløftet ("the knowledge promise" or "the lifting of knowledge, the word løfte having two meanings) in the Autmn of 2006, a student can apply for a general studies (studiespesialisering) or a vocational studies (yrkesfag) path. What path are you on? And why study A-Levels? They're no better than the Kunnskapslofet.
