2018 Advanced Level Exams

Advanced Level Exams (A-Levels)

Cutoff Scores, Placement Messages, and Credit Policies for 2018-2019

Proficiency credit is awarded for most A-Level exams on the basis of sufficiently high scores (grades of C and higher) and is subject to change upon annual review. The policies below apply to all students entering the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Summer 2018, Fall 2018, or Spring 2019.

If you take an equivalent course for part of the A-Level at Illinois, only partial credit will be awarded. All grades are posted as "Credit.” New undergraduate students who have not already earned college-level credit in a particular subject are allowed to take the departmental proficiency exam if they wish to try to proficiency out of an introductory course.

Questions? All A-Level credit is processed through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Please ask to speak to an international admissions specialist.

Note that “AS Levels” are not the same as “A Levels.” Typically, the syllabus content for an AS-Level course is half the content for an A-Level course. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign does not accept AS-Level test scores for either course placement or course proficiency credit.
