Only half of schools plan to continue offering AS levels across all subjects from September, a survey by university admissions body UCAS has found.
Two-thirds of the 469 schools questioned said they would have AS levels in some form. However, 18 per cent remain undecided.
As part of government reforms, new A level qualifications are being introduced which will see a return to terminal examination at the end of the two-year courses.
Teaching for the first tranche of reformed A levels begins in September 2015, with others to follow in 2016 and 2017.
As part of the reforms, the link between AS and A levels is being cut from September.
