About This Quiz

The choice of structuring education around A-Levels is a fascinating one. The choice of subject and the performance of the pupil will determine which universities accept the pupil as a student, which will shape their professional options for the rest of their lives. Secondary school is an early time to make choices with such far-reaching consequences. However, if one is to take the measure of another's academic abilities in these subjects, such academic trials are not only necessary but advantageous as they allow the pupil to rely on their greatest strengths, in their choice of subjects.

Your performance on your A-Levels was a product of your interests, discipline and intellectual polish at the time of your testing. With repercussions that echo for the rest of one's life, it is possible to deduce what results one had from a constellation of data points from how one regards one past self as a pupil, to what one does in life as an adult, as these things are dictated to a large extent by the outcome of the tests. Do you think it possible to accurately guess what your results were? And if it is possible to do so, what is the point of actually taking the A-Levels in the first instance, if we can ascertain your results? Put our know-how to the test!
