@Dex What does a-level mean? I'm guessing it's a Britishism but I don't know if it means "advanced" or "basic" or something else entirely
@Felthry it does (or did) stand for advanced
they were exams taken between 16-19 years old, normally at the same place of secondary education where you did the previous exam; sort of a stepping stone before leaving for university. they were still classed as part of public education so you could still do them without paying extra
i think (but am not sure) that they've been replaced with something else now
@Dex aha, the equivalent here is the... Hmm, I suppose both the SAT and the ACT.
@Felthry it's been years since i did a-level maths :v
