National tests at the ages of 7, 11, and 14 assess students' progress. At 16, prior to leaving school, students are tested in various subjects to earn a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). If they wish to go on to higher education at a university, they take Advanced Level examinations, commonly known as "A" Levels. The most famous schools in Britain are private boarding schools, such as Eton College, Harrow School, Rugby School, and Winchester School. Many of Britain's leaders have attended these private schools, which cater to the wealthy and influential but also offer some scholarships to gifted poorer children. Britain has over 90 universities, which can be divided into several categories. The foremost universities are the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. The term Oxbridge s used to refer to both schools as a single entity, much as Americans would use the term Ivy League in reference to the group of prestigious East Coast universities.
