A Level考试不要求AS成绩后,为什么还是强烈建议你考AS
更多详情

A Level考试经过改革后,AS成绩不再计入A Level成绩,有的学生会有这样的疑问:那我是不是只用在A Level最后一年直接全部考完所有科目就可以了?

答案是:是的。在申请英国本科时,英国的绝大部分大学也不要求AS成绩了,所以理论上讲,学生是可以只通过一次考试,考完所有课目,直接获得A Level成绩的。

但并不建议大家这样做。为什么呢?我们先来看一个今年5-6月考季的一个报考案例。

这位同学计划今年9月出国读英本,但没有AS成绩,想在今年5-6月考季考完所有课目的考试,8月份出分后,就可以换unconditional offer了。这种操作本来是没问题的(就是考生压力大一点,需要考16门考试),但不偏不巧的是爱德思考试局A Level物理、化学、经济课目正处于新旧考纲交替之季,这意味着什么呢?


上图是旧考纲A Level物理需要考的试,一共是6个单元,Unit1-Unit3为AS阶段,Unit4-Unit6为A2阶段。这位同学本可以直接考Unit1-Unit6从而获得A Level物理的成绩,但因为是新旧考纲交替时期,旧考纲的AS阶段的考试只接受重考,不接受第一次考试的考生。因此这就意味着这位同学不能报考Unit1-Unit3。你可能会说,那他可以报新考纲的考试啊。是的,但新考纲的考试在此次考季只有AS阶段的可以考,A2阶段的考试还没有出。这就非常尴尬了,无论如何,这位同学都不能考完整的Unit1-Unit6,只能选择其他考试局的A Level物理考试。

除了为避免上述尴尬的情况产生,非常建议大家考AS考试的原因还有以下几点:

1、参加AS考试可以分散学生的学习压力

A Level是模块化的考试,需要考完所有的单元才能获得该科目的证书,比如爱德思考试局的物理要考6门,数学+高数要考10门。每个学生至少要选三门课程,如果放在一个考季考完岂不是很崩溃?

2、AS成绩影响A Level的预估成绩

鉴于A2难度较大,用A2来预估更高的分数不太现实,所以老师会根据AS成绩来预估A-level成绩。在进行最终的大学课程选择时,知道自己的A-level预估成绩,可以帮助你更有针对性的进行抉择。

在知道自己的 A Level预估成绩后,可以把你实际取得的AS成绩与心仪大学的入学要求相匹配。记住要现实一点,做好两手准备,高分和低分的选择都要考虑,以确保最终做出一个明智的决定。

3、申请大学时,学校会注意到你的AS成绩。

有没有AS成绩,并不会影响到你对某一大学课程的申请热情。但是大学却会介意学校是否向他们提供学生的AS成绩。

但是如果你的申请上有AS成绩,那它可能会对你最终的录取结果产生一定影响,毕竟这些成绩是你当下学术能力的有力证明。

剑桥和LSE还明确表示需要学生提供AS成绩,下面就为大家介绍几所大学在AS成绩上的要求:

1.剑桥大学

是否需要AS成绩:需要

We strongly encourage potential applicants to take AS Level examinations in at least three, and preferably four, subjects, whether reformed or not.

剑桥大学表示,不论是否改革,强烈建议潜在申请者至少参加三门,最好是四门的AS考试。

2.牛津大学

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

These recorded results may be used by admissions tutors as evidence of a candidate’s suitability to study at Oxford, although they will not be used in a mechanistic way to shortlist candidates for interview, or determine which candidates receive an offer. It is therefore in the interests of candidates for schools and colleges to declare AS module marks or grades if they demonstrate a candidate is performing strongly.

AS成绩不会机械地作为挑选面试或录取候选人的方式,不过成绩记录可能会被招生官用来参考学生是否适应牛津学习的证明。

所以,如果AS模块分数或AS成绩很高的话,申报对申请者是有利的。

3.LSE

是否需要AS成绩:需要

Our evidence indicates that AS levels are an effective indicator of performance at undergraduate level and for this reason we will continue to use AS grades in our admissions assessments. For students due to sit A levels we would recommend that, whenever possible, they sit AS level examinations at the end of Year 12.

LSE认为AS是预见学生本科表现的有效指标,因此录取评估中会继续使用AS成绩。建议要考A-level的学生,如果有条件的话,在Year 12也参加AS考试。

4.帝国理工

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

The College is aware that not all secondary education providers will be offering students the opportunity to take AS-levels, so from 2017 none of our programmes will include a specific requirement for AS-levels.

帝国理工表示知道并非所有中学都会给学生提供AS考试机会,所以从2017年开始,不会有专业再包括具体AS要求。

5.UCL

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

AS levels are no longer required.

UCL明确表示不再要求AS成绩。

6.爱丁堡大学

是否需要AS成绩:看情况

Applicants to MBChB Medicine are required to achieve A Grades in three A levels and a fourth AS qualification in one sitting. Following the planned introduction of curriculum reform, this requirement will remain in place.Where an applicant to Medicine attends a school which does not offer AS qualifications, we will require four A levels to be achieved in the one sitting.

课程改革后,医学专业申请者仍旧要提交一次考出的成绩为A的三门A-level以及一门AS。申请医学院如果没有AS成绩,那么就要提交四门A-level。

Whilst the University recognises the benefits for learners in studying for AS levels,learners who apply without AS results from 2016/17 onwards will not be disadvantaged in the admissions selection process in relation to learners who have AS results.

其他专业自2016/17学年开始,相对于有AS成绩的申请者,无AS成绩的申请者也不会被认为处于劣势。

7.格拉斯哥大学

是否需要AS成绩:看情况

An applicant will not be made an offer based on a better set of AS Levels or GCSE qualifications than another applicant.

Some degree programmes will specify as part of their Standard Entry Requirements that if an applicant does not have an A-Level in a specific subject then they must have either an AS Level or a GCSE qualification at a specified grade.

格拉斯哥大学表示不会因为一个申请者的AS成绩或GCSE成绩比其他人高,就能优先获得offer。

但是,一些专业规定,如果申请者没有入学要求里规定的某一A-level科目,那么AS或GCSE就必须有相关科目的成绩了。

8.华威大学

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

Do you require students to take AS exams for all of their subjects?

No. Students may still wish to take AS exams as they can be helpful for measuring progress so far in their studies and we do not discourage this, but where students are taking subjects to A level they will not be disadvantaged if they do not take the corresponding AS exam.

华威大学不再要求AS,一直学习到A-level的科目如果没有参加相关AS考试,申请也不会处于劣势。

9.利兹大学

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

TheUniversityofLeedscurrently makes offers based on three A-levels, or equivalent, incorporating a range of information in decision making that has been gathered throughout the application process. AS level results, where available, are included in this. However, we recognise that some A-level students will no longer sit AS levels and this group will not be disadvantaged in the decision making process atLeeds.

利兹大学会根据三门A-level发放offer,如果有AS成绩会参考。然而,意识到也有些学生不会再考AS,这一群体在录取的时候不会处于劣势。

10.巴斯大学

是否需要AS成绩:看情况

we will not consider a student’s performance in AS awards under the new linear model when making admissions decisions. Performance in legacy subjects may be considered, but to ensure equity for candidates sitting AS levels inWalesandNorthern Irelandor in an International A level, we will not consider performance in subjects that have moved to a linear model inEngland, even if taken in a modular system. Thus, students who have either not taken AS examinations or who have performed lower than anticipated will not be at a disadvantage.

巴斯大学规定,新的线型课程体系下不考虑AS成绩,还未改革的科目可能考虑AS成绩。为了公平起见,对参加模块考试的威尔士、北爱尔兰、这位学生来说,英国已经转变成线型课程的科目,也是不看他们的AS成绩的。所以,没有参加AS考试或者AS成绩低于预期,不会对申请产生不利影响。

11.杜伦大学

是否需要AS成绩:不需要

Multiple factors are taken into account by our admissions selectors to identify the most able candidates. These factors include (1) A-Level (or equivalent) grades; (2) GCSE (or equivalent) grades; (3) the personal statement; (4) the reference; (5) the development of study skills; (6) motivation for the degree programme applied for; (7) independence of thought and working; (8) skills derived from non-academic extra-curricular activities such as engagement in sport, the arts or voluntary and community work; and (9) contextual consideration of merit and potential.

杜伦大学表示录取会参考A-level、GCSE、PS等九项因素,没有提到AS要求。

所以说,AS成绩不计入A Level成绩并不意味着AS不重要了,相反,AS成绩仍然相当重要,大家还是规划好自己的学习和考试时间,老老实实地考吧!
