Applied Sciences

Assessment

Students will be assessed in a variety of different ways which is in keeping with BTEC Applied courses. One of the units will be 3 externally marked written examinations in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, based on content learnt within the first unit. This will be followed up by two units, one of which is more practical based, the other is an extended research project, these will be internally marked. The final unit will be an externally assessed examination which includes a practical write-up, where students will need to plan, record, process, analyse and evaluate scientific findings, using primary and secondary information and data.
