A-Level Exam Equivalencies

A-Level Exam Transfer Policies:

  • Binghamton awards 4 credits for AS or H1 Level exams and 8 credits for the A or H2 Level exams.
  • You can receive a maximum of 32 exam credits from all sources (AP, IB, CLEP, A-Levels)
    • Students who have more than 32 credits from exam coursework should consult with Harpur Advising to discuss which 32 credits should be used towards their degree.
  • In instances where a student scores at the A Level, the 8 A Level credits subsume the credit of the AS Level. That is, if a student receives the required minimum scores on both the A and AS levels on a particular subject exam, 8 A-Level credits will be awarded in place of the 4 AS-level credits.
  • Credit is awarded for scores of A-E unless otherwise noted in the equivalency table below.
