<p>How does anyone who knows about or has taken A-levels and seen or taken SAT II's think these two groupings of exams compare?
How are the AS's and A2's for enterance to University?</p>
<p>AS + A2 = AP level.
SAT II can be said to be a level above GCSEs and below A-levels. THat's my opinion anyway.</p>
<p>That would be AS- Level because that is between GCSE and A-Level. So are saying that SAT II is like the AS-Levels?</p>
<p>I'm doin A2 levels atm n i jus did SAT IIs (IIC, lit n bio).. the sciences in particular require wide knowledge covering all of A-level syllabuses but not anywhere as deep as A-level. maths only requires a little above GCSE level, but the knowledge obviously needs to be thorough. If you do A-level maths, about up to C3 level. english as usual requires little or no prep, just interpretation skills.</p>
<p>My D did two SAT IIs at the same time as she did GCSEs and got 750+ scores. But I think it depends on subject because she tried practice tests for two languages and decided they were far too difficult.</p>
<p>um yeah SAT II is comparable to AS. put it this way: if you studied six months of AS, you can score an 800. :)</p>
<p>How do US Colleges/Universities look at the GCSEs, ASs, and A2s for admissions (as long as you have the SATs)?</p>
<p>GCSE is about equivalent to a high school diploma, I would say. I haven't seen any official policy on AS results, though they probably wouldn't hurt. Many universities and colleges offer credit for A2, however.</p>
<p>Wat r A-levels?</p>
<p>A-levels are essay exams taken by students who want to attend University.They are spilt into two one year parts the ASs which are taken by 16-17 yearolds (4 or 5 subjects somtimes more) and A2s which taken by 17-18 yearolds (3 or 4 subjects). The parts are combined for the full A-levels (3 or 4 subjects usually) grades of A-E.
120- A
100- B
80- C
60- D
40- E
