    Programme content

    There are four components to the A-level programme at Kings Tirana:

    1. Academic subjects

    Depending on your future degree course and ability, you will study three or four subjects.

    2.Academic Enrichment programme

    You will have opportunities to follow a range of topics outside your main subjects.

    3.Examination practice

    You will have practice exams every week.

    This ensure you learn the disciplines of working concisely, accurately and to precise time limits.

    These practice exams also give your teachers valuable information about your progress so they can ensure lessons are relevant to your exact needs.

    6. Examinations

    You will have your final examinations at the end of Year 2.

    CAT 4 testing

    We use the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT 4) to assess your abilities, academic potential and learning preferences.


    The test analyses your ability to reason with and manipulate different types of material. It uses verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial reasoning tasks.


    This method helps every student achieve more than they thought possible in a measurable way.

    Exams

    A-levels are usually completed over two academic years. All A-level exams take place at the end of Year 2.


    You can take an AS exam at the end of your first year, but it is not essential and won’t count towards your final grade.


    There is now less coursework and fewer practical assessments than before. Your final grade is based on end-of-course exams.

    Grades for university entry

    Each A-level is graded from A*, A, B, C, D or E.


    When you apply for your degree course, universities will usually offer you a conditional place.


    This means your place is dependent on you achieving the A-level grades they require, for example ABB.
