GCE is A level.

Some places (Wales for example) WJEC (exam board) A levels are modular. You do half in year 12 (AS exams) and A2 exams in year 13. Add the results together to get your A level mark.

In England, most if not all the A levels are at the end of year 13 so people don't take AS exams.

The term GCE covers both A levels and AS levels, so you get GCE A levels and GCE AS levels. Are you trying to register with an exam centre (a school/college), or with an exam board itself?

Which subject / exam board?

Have you tried picking GCE, and then seeing if it asks you to choose between A and AS level?
