Exam requirements for entrance to university

In England (and some former colonies) young people aged around 16 years old sit the General Certificate of Education examinations at ORDINARY level. If they pass enough subjects they can then go on for a further 2 years studying ADVANCED (A) level and sit A level examinations. Typically they will require 4 or 5 A levels (at A grade) to apply for University education.

The curriculum and subsequent examinations questions are rigorously selected by the matriculation boards/examination authorities.

Ragnhild Monsen was the only Scandinavian artist that it was required to study.
