Pearson Edexcel sets the standard for worldwide recognised qualifications aligned to the British educational system

International A Levels are accepted by over 650 higher education institutions worldwide, including leading universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Columbia University and Yale University

International A Levels (IAL®) are comparable to UK A Levels, as confirmed by UK NARIC, the national agency responsible for providing information and expert opinion on qualifications and skills worldwide

The same rigorous standards are applied to all Pearson Edexcel qualifications.

Modular Assessment

Flexible Assessment Structure

The modular assessment structure allows students to sit examinations when they feel fully prepared. Once a unit exam is completed and graded, the result is ‘banked’ until all units are complete

Students then ‘cash in’ their unit results to receive an overall qualification grade.

Examinations are available in January, June and October (in most subjects), and students may re-sit individual units if required

Benefits of the Modular Route

• Reduced exam pressure

• Opportunities for re-sits

• Early formal feedback through unit results

• Ability to spread assessment across two years

Linear Route Option

Students may also choose a linear approach, where assessments for all units are taken together at the end of the course
