A straightforward guide: A Levels and GCSEs in the UK

We have created a series of factsheets providing an overview of the content and design of UK A Levels and GCSEs, the role of exam boards and the regulator, and how these qualifications are created and marked.

The series covers GCSE and A Level Maths, History and English Literature. It also explains how a syllabus is developed, how grade boundaries are set and what we mean by ‘accessibility’.
