If I'm understanding correct, it is more or less taking advanced classes because you excel academically, correct?

If so, I suppose you could say I sort of did that. During my senior year of high school, I actually took a full time college schedule at a nearby university to replace my normal high school schedule. Due to this, as well as some other post secondary classes I took in high school, I will be graduating from college when I'm only 20 years old


I think it's equivalent to AP in the US, though almost everywhere offers it and it is a government set exam. A-levels are the main thing you need to get into university, 3 grades at A*AA will get you into almost anywhere.

I did Maths/Physics/Chem/Further Maths and now am a second year Physics student at university.
