Advanced Subsidiary Level, commonly known as AS Level, is a qualification in the United Kingdom typically taken by students in the first year of their two-year Advanced Level (A-Level) course. AS Levels assess students' understanding of a subject at an intermediate level, with exams covering specific topics or areas of study. While AS Levels can be taken independently, they often serve as the first part of the full A-Level qualification. The results are used for university applications and can help students decide whether to continue studying a subject at the A-Level in the second year.
