“O” LEVEL AND “A” LEVEL EXAMINATIONS

2. Many pupils take “O” level in about seven or eight different subjects. There are a lot of subjects to choose from carpentry to ancient languages.
3. For a lot of jobs it’s quite enough to have four or five «O» levels and usually these include English and Maths.
4. Some pupils leave school when they are fifteen. But if they stay at school, they go to the sixth form and start working for the second main exam: «A» (advanced) level. It’s a difficult exam, so pupils don’t usually lake it in more than three subjects.
5 Three «A» levels are enough to go to university. But if they want to go to such universities as Oxford and Cambridge they take special exams a s we 11. If you don’ t want to go to university, you get a good job with two or three «A» levels.
