If the student has attempted the subject more than once, the best result of the subject will be used for the score calculation.
  2. Results in GCE A-level / International A-level are accepted. Two AS subjects are considered to be equivalent to one AL subject. The same subject cannot be counted at both A Level and AS Level.
