Career test for students in Sri Lanka

Choose your A/L stream on your strengths, not on the Z-score alone.

After O/L results a Sri Lankan student picks an A/L stream — physical science, biological science, commerce, arts or technology — and that choice largely decides which university courses the Z-score can reach two years later.

Who this is for in Sri Lanka

This page is for Sri Lankan students and for Indian families living in Colombo. For both, study in India is a real option when state university places are limited and private degrees at home are expensive.

The decision

Which A/L stream to take after O/L, and whether to study in Sri Lanka or India.

School systems, and where the assessment fits

O/L to A/L
The stream ranking maps closely onto the A/L stream choice, and shows what each option keeps open and rules out.
International schools
Students taking Edexcel or Cambridge A-levels in Colombo can use the ranking to choose subject combinations.
