Upon successful completion of Cambridge IGCSE, students can continue their education in CAIE Advanced level.
At Cambridge A levels students are prepared by inculcating practical approach and application based understanding of the concepts in every subject. Demand for in-depth studies pushes students to develop inquisitive and analytical skills for better understanding. This also roots for smoother university years abroad if students are planning to study abroad post A levels.
About examinations:

Syllabus of every subject is classified as As level and A2 level. Students prepare for syllabus in respective years and appear for final examination. It’s important to know that As and A2 level are parts of combined A level and hence final results of A levels is based on cumulative performance of students at As level and A2 level.

Who should opt for A levels?
Students planning their studies abroad immediately after Grade 12 should consider A levels post Grade 10 (Cambridge IGCSE). As discussed earlier A level helps students develop skills required at university years abroad as the studies are in-line with international academic requirements.
However, if students are considering their bachelor’s studies in India, we do not recommend opting for A levels. This is given to the fact that for most of the bachelor’s courses in India, students are supposed to appear an entrance examination. While it’s not impossible but challenging for students to prepare for A levels and entrance exams together considering they have to maintain good grades in As and A2 level both for having best cumulative results at the end of A levels.
