It just a means that say if they have grade requirements for 3Bs, they won’t accept general studies and critical thinking as one of those Bs, you would have to have Bs in three other subjects.

Ooh, sorry, I didn’t understand your question!
I’m not sure because I don’t take them, but I think they are actual subjects you can take, it’s its own subject. (I think that makes no sense 😂)

They are specific A-level subjects - one is called General Studies. And one is called Critical Thinking.

However neither are now offered by UK exam boards.
