The "General Certificate of Education 'Ordinary' Level Examination", otherwise known as the "GCE 'O' Level" or the "O Levels" is the examination taken by students of Secondary Education in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries or regions associated with the British curriculum.
The "GCE 'O' Level" in theUnited Kingdom is replaced by the "General Certificate of Secondary Education" (abbreviated "GCSE") in 1988. However, many Commonwealth countries and some British schools still retain the "GCE 'O' Level" through the examining boards of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), American Council for Higher Education and Edexcel International.
Therefore, in 1969, the primary examination was the "GCE 'O' Level" as the "GCSE" was only implemented in 1988.
O levels are just another name for GCSEs. you have the option to either go to work after your O levels or take your A levels
For GCSEs, which is what they are called in the UK, mathematics is compulsory.

The German equivalent of GCSEs is the "Mittlere Reife" (Realschulabschluss), which is obtained after completing 10 years of schooling. The equivalent of A levels is the "Abitur," which is obtained after completing 12 or 13 years of schooling, depending on the state.
Well, A-level is the more advanced, being taken at college or sixth form, afetr your GCSEs. However, your GCSEs are also important, as both employers and universities take your GCSE and A levels into consideration. It is common to take around 10 GCSEs and 3-4 Alevels.
None because GCSEs do not give you UCAS points. Only AS and A Levels and their equivalents (eg. BTECs) give you UCAS points
what are o levels?
In Germany, the equivalent of GCSEs and A-levels are called "Abitur" and "Mittlere Reife," respectively. The "Mittlere Reife" is typically obtained after completing secondary education at around age 16, similar to GCSEs. The "Abitur," required for university admission, is taken after completing the upper levels of secondary school (Gymnasium) and involves a series of exams at around age 18 or 19.
I just did the 11+ in october and thought it was stupid. It shouldn't determine whether you go to a grammer school or not because it doesn't test how clever you are.
You can leave secondary school at age 16 earliest or 17 or 18. At 16 you would have GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) you can continue to AS Levels (Advanced Subsidiary Levels) or full A levels (Advanced levels).
