| Summary | There are currently 25 GCE AS level Double Award specifications being delivered across a variety of subjects. Please be aware that Tariff points are double the AS single award scores, and thus, the same as a full A level. However, many HEIs specify that AS qualifications are not appropriate as full Level 3 qualifications. There is no A* grade. If a student achieves a full A level Double Award, AS Double Award scores for that subject are not counted. AS scores only count if the student did not get a full A level in that subject. |
