Biology

Assessment

Percentage in examinations/coursework: A-level Biology is 100% externally assessed. Core practicals also form part of the practical competency assessment made by the teacher, which is awarded as a “Science Practical Endorsement” Pass or Fail on the A level certificate in addition to the A level grade. Exam structure: These papers will assess material from both years of the course, testing students' knowledge of the deeper understanding gained at full A level.
