From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With GCSE and AS level exams in full swing, and A2 exams just around the corner, it’s a stressful time for thousands of teenagers across the country.

A levels have undergone significant reforms over the past couple of years, allowing universities to play a greater role in what is included.

This year's results will be the first from candidates sitting the end of school exams under the new structure.

Last year a record 424,000 students were accepted into UK universities and colleges on A-level results day – the highest ever recorded, despite a slight fall in top grades achieved overall.

The top five subjects in terms of performance have remained the same for some time, with Maths found to be the most popular taken subject by students in the UK.

But how would you fare if you were to sit A level exams now?

Online local services marketplace Bidvine.com, has designed a 15 question A Level style quiz using past papers from exam boards AQA and Edexcel, with questions covering Maths, English, History and Science.
