In my day (rattles zimmer frame) when we did GCE O and A and S level (not the same as AS ) with the Oxford and Cambridge Examination Board (now sadly swallowed up), in 1960-63, as well as the 'General Paper'- Essays from a massive list of topics) we had to sit the 'Use of English ' Paper. I bet a bob there's no such thing anymore .
A pass in both was required for Oxbridge entry, as well as passes at GCE O level in Latin and French.
Hated the Latin at the time but was grateful for it throughout my professional life.
