AS Level vs A Level
The difference between AS and full A-Level — what each means, which papers belong to which, and whether stopping at AS is worth it.
This page will explain the structural difference between AS Level (year one only) and the full A Level (two years). It will cover which papers fall under AS and which are A2-only, whether AS can be taken as a standalone qualification, how universities view AS-only results, and the practical decision of whether to continue to full A Level. It will also clarify the Cambridge AS & A Level naming convention and what "co-taught" means.
