Nope, in the US the system is different. In High School I took Advanced Placement classes and exams and scored well. I think that’s similar? AP classes count toward university credit.
My A-levels were:
Biology – C
Sociology – B
English – C
So as you can see I didn’t do amazingly well plus looking back I could have made better choices with my subjects. But I did get into the uni I wanted (Leeds) and onto the course I wanted (Biology). Phew!
I did Physics (B), Maths (B), Chemistry (C), Classical Civilization (A) and General Studies (B) – so a mix of traditional sciences and a history topic that I liked.
