What level is GCE?

GCE is the old version of GCSEs - Level 2 - so not equivelant to A levels or even AS.

Is it? Where my AS levels are listed, it says GCE, and they arent level 2 courses, they are level 3

GCE - General certificate of Education - used to be available at Ordinary level (O levels) and Advanced level (A levels). O levels were replaced by GCSEs in the 1980s and since then GCE has been used to describe A levels and AS levels only. These are both Level 3 qualifications although of different sizes.

Yes, this is what I’m confused about
If I type ‘past papers gce biology’ A2 topics are included


Thanks, so if a university said it would be advisable to revise GCE biology would they mean AS level? It would be difficult to revise a whole alevel in the two weeks before university begins Especially if someone hasn’t taken that alevel subject

So GCE means General Certificate of Education, which covers certain subjects that typically 17-18 year olds would sit, so to infer from that definition, i would say it is referencing both AS and A level courses. A university typically wouldn't reference to a course with 'GCE' but instead with the level of qualification, e.g., Level 2 or Level 3, or GCSE or AS level or A level

Thanks, so if a university said it would be advisable to revise GCE biology would they mean AS level? It would be difficult to revise a whole alevel in the two weeks before university begins Especially if someone hasn’t taken that alevel subject

They would mean the full A level
