Kind of like APs, except that you typically study only 3, sometimes 4 subjects for the final two years of high school and then take final exams. So for my final two years of high school, I only studies math, physics and bio. In the same way that an AP can sometimes give you a semester's credit at a university, an A-Level can sometimes give you a full year's credit. (Only in US universities, though. In the UK you're expected to have done them, so you don't get extra credit. Though, for the same reason, a bachelors degree in the UK is typically only three years, not four.)
