Students will have achieved a grade 7 or above in iGCSE Biology or Dual Award Science. Students will also ideally have a grade 7 or above in GCSE Maths.
Practical assessments are divided into those that can be assessed in written exams and those that can only be directly assessed whilst students are carrying out experiments. A-level grades will be based only on marks from written exams. A separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the A-level. This will be assessed by teachers and will be based on direct observation of students’ competency in a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams. Internal exams will be sat at the end of the first year, covering units 1 – 4 and the practical skills for the Biology course. At the end of the second year, students will sit three external exams, each 2 hours in length. These 3 papers will assess topics from the first and second year of the course, including relevant practical skills.
