A-levels were first introduced in 1951, replacing the previous award, the Higher School Certificate (HSC). The most recent changes to A-levels began in 2001, when the government introduced Curriculum 2000 which split the A-level into two parts, the AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A2 examinations. The former is generally taken in Year 12 (Year 13 in Northern Ireland) also known as lower sixth and the latter is generally taken in Year 13 (Year 14 in Northern Ireland) which is also known as upper sixth. Satisfactory achievement in AS and A2 units results in the award of an A-level qualification. It is possible to sit only AS modules in which case only an AS grade would be gained, this is given half the points a full A-level would be on the UCAS points system.
