Our international student enrollment is growing, and in the past few years we've had inquiries from students about whether we accept A- level coursework for placement or credit.  We do have a (rather generous, I think) policy of giving introductory chemistry credit and placement for certain AP scores and higher-level IB scores.  I'm wondering if anyone's department has a policy in place for handling A-level work. How do you view it in comparison with AP or IB?  In looking at a few sample syllabi, our sense is that the level can be quite high.
