中等教育普通證書
主要內容 > 等級 > 分級測驗

在部分課程科目中，採取兩種等級課程：
進階級(Higher)，在這個課程中，學生將會獲得A*–D(E) 或是 U 等級。
基礎級(Foundation)，在這個課程中，學生將會獲得 C–G 等級或是 U 等級。
如果學生基礎級課程並未獲得 G 等級，或是進階級課程中並未獲得 E 等級，則該學生則未取得課程學分並且取得 U 等級的資格證明。考生如果在進階級課程中並未取得等級 D 的成績，則會拿到等級 E 的成績。區分難易度的科目課程中，學生可以選擇不同等級的課程。在沒有區分難易度的課程，例如歷史，考生將直接獲得等級成績。 「受控評價」也直接讓考生獲得任何等級成績。
GCSE 的數學課程中則分成 3 個等級，基礎級( Foundation grades) (D–G)、 中級(Intermediate) (B–E) 以及進階級(Higher) ( A*–C) 。
