Biology

Assessment

In the Edexcel A Level course there are now three final examinations, each worth 100 marks. Paper 1 covers material from the Lower Sixth course and two A Level units. “The Natural Environment and Species Survival” Paper 2 covers material from the Lower Sixth course and two A Level units. “Energy, Exercise and Co-ordination” Paper 3 covers material from the whole course and includes questions based on a pre-released article. “General and Practical Applications in Biology” Fieldwork remains an important aspect of Biology and several core practical’s require it. We complete a residential course at the end of the Lower Sixth. You will be expected to attend this field trip and there will be a cost for accommodation, meals and transport which is around £180.
