There are no adjustments or advance information for the International A Level unit examinations in May/June 2022.

Students have opportunities to sit International A Level examinations in the January and May/June series. Due to the modular approach of these qualifications, we have decided the fairest and most consistent approach for students is to continue running them as a regular series.
