The United Kingdom’s British educational system differs from the USA in that basic general education culminates at age 16 and then for those individuals following an academic route to
university, specializes into various disciplines (history, life science, languages, etc.) with fewer courses taken the next two years. Students take Advanced (or “A”) level exams at the end of
those two years.
