The diagram below illustrates how the AS and A2 components combine, over two years, to create a final grade for A Level Art and Design (CIE 9704). As you can see, the AS Course (usually completed in Year 12) counts towards 50% of the final result, with the A2 Course (usually completed in Year 13) making up the other 50%.

More information about each of the components can be found below:
- AS Art Examination – Component 1 (Controlled Test)
- AS Art Coursework – Component 2
- A2 Art Coursework – Component 3
- A2 Art Personal Study – Component 4
