Independent evaluation
Independent evaluators both in the United States and around the world have recommended credit or recognition for Cambridge International AS & A Level courses and exams.
- American Council on Education (ACE) recommends granting credit for grades of E or higher for several Cambridge International AS & A Level exams. Additional exam recommendations will appear throughout the coming year.
- World Education Services (WES) recommends eight US semester credits per A level subject as they consider it completion of two consecutive, first-year undergraduate courses in a given subject (e.g. Math 101 and Math 102). “As AS-levels are taken after the first year of sixth form... we recommend four U.S. semester credits per applicable subject.”
- AACRAO (PDF, 178KB) regards the AS and A Levels as “comparable to completion of introductory-level undergraduate (university) in the United States.”
