It took me 2 years to complete the A-level studies but I still think it was worthwhile . The reason is that you are learning in a complete English speaking environment with local English students. The class size is very small compared to the senior high school in China, hence you get a good tuition from the teachers (they talk to you more), and you have more opportunities to speak, discuss problems with the class. The atmosphere is just fantastic. You normally take 3 to 4 subjects and the whole week will be full of less##被过滤##, therefore ideal for intense learning.
Another good aspect of the A-level is that you get the pressure from the teachers. You are forced to finish your homework otherwise you will get detenti##被过滤## after school. By doing homework, you c##被过滤##olidate your knowledge which is useful throughout your lives.
From the above you learn very good English, but this is not the only thing. You also acquire very useful knowledge and gain good skills which are very useful even at universities and at professional work. It is the interface between Secondary education and the Tertiary education. The freedom of A-level allows you to go beyond the depth of high school to reach the university level. For example, "Further Maths" offers challenges to talented students who wants more maths which has the depth of the University level.
"Economics and Business Studies" offers a very thorough basic knowledge of Economics, Business and Finance which enables students to possess the ability to do business themselves.
I must say that "Economics and Business Studies" is a superb super course which stretches your mind in all directi##被过滤## and making you flexible in thinking, creative in being efficient and delicate in communication.
Physics and Chemistry courses are very practical (labs and lab exams) as well as broad in theoretical knowledge. They emphasise more on the description and the applicati##被过滤## rather than difficult calculati##被过滤##.
These are what I know about the A-level, and I really think it is a brilliant course to take. Now, the A-level is harder due to the increase NO. of bright students. I don't know whether this is true or not and I would like to hear about it from you who are taking it or who have just finished it not long ago.
