OxfordAQA is a unique testing platform that focuses only on the subject knowledge of students, not their English language skills. This is made possible by their Fair Assessment methodology, which ensures that all qualifications are designed to give students a fair chance to showcase their abilities. Due to the convenience of the exam timings and more suitable content for international students, many international schools prefer OxfordAQA International GCSEs and A-levels.
It is a unique way of assessing using specific tools. To ensure fairness in their exams, OxfordAQA uses various techniques, for eg. their special vocabulary tool, the Oxford 3000. The Oxford 3000 is a collection of the most important words in the English language, which are used in OxfordAQA exams to ensure that the phrasing of questions is as clear as possible for students who have English as their second language.
Linear and modular are two different approaches to the assessment of AS and A-level qualifications. In the linear approach, all exams are taken at the end of the two-year course (one year for AS), and only these exams count towards the final grade. On the other hand, in the modular approach, the final grade is based on several sections or modules that can be taken throughout the course.
The modular approach offers more flexibility to students as they can opt to drop a subject after Year 1 and still get an AS qualification. This means that students can start with several A-levels and eventually complete only the three they excel in, while also obtaining a universally recognized AS qualification for the subjects they discontinue. Many schools and students prefer the modular approach due to its greater flexibility.
It is worth noting that OxfordAQA International AS and A-levels follow the modular approach. Moreover, students can retake single papers as many times as they wish. This means that if a student fails to achieve their desired grade, they can retake the paper they performed lowest in, rather than having to retake the entire qualification, as is required in linear qualifications.

"At Catalyze's unique IIT-JEE bridge program, helped me bridge the Cambridge Curriclum AS and A levels and gave me the confidence to appear for IIT-JEE mains. I was able to learn concepts that were discussed in the CBSE curriculum but were absent in the Cambridge Curriculum.”
Aadith Pillai - Pune - IIT JEE Student
"We have been taking online classes from Catalyze for the past 3 years. Nandita was in the Cambridge curriculum till 10th grade and now has shifted to Karnataka State board PUC for 11th and 12th. Catalyze structured a Unique Program for her to bridge the gap between Cambridge and KSB with a view of a customized IIT-JEE program for her. I must admit that this is brilliant!! IT not only cuts back on all the clutter that the regular programs offerend by FIT-JEE and other institutes but focusses on what the child exactly needs. Nandita has performed extermely well in her first physics exam in the 11th grade. Thanks to Mrs. Mythili's teaching."
