Can you tell me more about Advanced Extension Awards? What subjects are they offered in?

Advanced Extension Awards were introduced in 2002 to challenge the most able A level students. They replace the old ‘S’ or Special Papers used previously and are designed for the top 10 per cent of A level students, at a standard which matches the most demanding in the world. They are based on existing A level specifications and are entirely externally marked. The subjects covered are: biology, business, chemistry, critical thinking, economics, English, French, geography, German, history, Irish, Latin, mathematics, psychology, physics, religious studies, Spanish, Welsh and Welsh as a second language.
