O level
Secondary school test
O level refers to an examination in a specific subject formerly taken by British secondary school students, typically around age sixteen.
The O stood for "ordinary," distinguishing these exams from the more advanced A levels taken later.
O levels were part of the General Certificate of Education system and served as a baseline qualification for employment or further study.
They were replaced by GCSEs in 1988, though the term persists in some Commonwealth countries where similar examination systems remain in use.
