Pupils who remain at school until they are sixteen normally take what is called the General Certificate (证书) of Education at Ordinary level. The examination is a subject examination. This means you can take a number of subjects. Some pupils take as many as ten. The more subjects the better chance a pupil has of getting a job on leaving school. For short, this examination is called GCE "0" level, This certificate in five or six subject is, if you like, the required starting point for some types of work and also for many types of professional (职业的) training. Pupils who remain school until they are eighteen or nineteen generally take the General Certificate of Education at Advance Level, popularly known as GCE "A" level. This examination is usually taken in two, three or four specialized subjects. A pupil who has passed two or three "A" levels can apply for admission (准入)to a university. Two examinations are written ones. Many English children take one or the other or both. Not all of them pass.
