IV. Read the passage and choose the best answers 27-31.
In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The
National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and
when they have to take assessment tests.

Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of
Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for
GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must
also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do
not take exams in these subjects.
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A
(Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National
Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one
AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To
go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level
German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German
Literature exam.
GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such
as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at
advanced level) is equal to two A levels.
