The S-level or scholarship level was a General Certificate of Education (GCE) public examination in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, taken by the most able A-level students. The 'S' level was typically used to support university entrance applications, though in practice it was directed almost exclusively to Oxbridge applications. Results were graded 'Distinction' (1), 'Merit' (2) or 'Unclassified' (U).[1]
