A Level  - Key Facts

Note. AS Level stands for Advanced Subsidiary that is effectively the exam taken at the half way stage to a full A Level.

  • The approach at David Game College is to allow as much flexibility as possible in course structure. The normal approach is for students to take a two year programme i.e. AS in year 1 (3 – 5 subjects) and then take 3 subjects at A2 Level in the second year.
  • However, a very able student can take three AS and three A2 Level examinations in one academic year.
  • It is also possible to start in January, take AS Levels in June with intensive courses, and then study 3 A2 subjects in the following academic year.
  • To be successful, must make the correct choices of subjects and programmes. The Vice-Principals and Director of Admissions at David Game College are there to help them follow the course which will enable them to achieve the best possible A Level results.
  • For students wishing to retake an AS or A Level there are intensive courses from September to January/June each year.
  • Entry requirements are 5 GCSEs or a High School Certificate plus an appropriate level of English.
  • David Game College is a centre for the four Examination Awarding Bodies, AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC.
