As the topic suggests, which one would you prefer to do and why?

I've heard that there's a difference in equivalence certificate if you have given AS and then A2 as compared to doing complete A Level.

Would appreciate the pros and cons of both laid out.

Thanks ;)

The only advantage in giving both is saving time!

As far as equivalence is considered, here's the rule they follow:
Any percentage between 90 to 100 is reduced to 85%
Any percentage between 80 to 90 is reduced to 75%
Any percentage between 70 to 80 is reduced to 65%
and the list goes like that!

Based on the caliber of an O/A level student it should be increased.
Imagine a candidate with all distinctions getting an average 85% equivalence. :eek:
