As a point, both GCSE's and A-levels are basically scrapped in the country, being replaced by a diploma system which will be fully introduced by the time our 11 year olds reach the age of 16.
GCSE - General Certificate of Secondary Education. This is the national test where everyone in England take the same exams and get graded on. So one person one side of the country gets graded the same as some one else on the other side.
AS/A - (Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced level) in also the same as GCSE in this regard.
