<p>If you are in the College of Letters and Science, here is its [Reading</a> and Composition requirement](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/rc.html]Reading”>Reading & Composition | L&S Advising) page. It says “A-level English Exam – grade of A, B or C satisfies both semesters.”</p>
<p>A-level exams may also fulfill the L&S Quantitative Reasoning requirement (which you will likely trivially fulfill if you are in any type of math-based major) and L&S Foreign Language requirement.</p>
<p>There is no mention of A-level exams to fulfill the university-wide [American</a> History and Institutions](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/?PageID=ahi.html]American”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/?PageID=ahi.html) requirement.</p>
<p>Otherwise, check the department of the subject the A-level exam is in, and the department(s) you are considering majoring in, to see if a given A-level exam indicates placement into a higher level course.</p>
