EXAMINATIONS

Pearson Edexcel International AS/A levels (IAL) use the popular and flexible modular approach which means students can plan when to take their exams:

  • At the end of each unit of study,
  • Throughout the programme of study when they feel prepared and ready,
  • All together at the end the course.

This flexibility, together with exam series January and June, for most subjects, means that students have more opportunities to get feedback to improve their performance and get the grade they need to progress.
