Assessment

There are three assessed components (a 2 hour exam for each) and vital practical assessments too. There are specified practicals (“required practicals”) through which the CPAC (Common Practical Assessment Criteria) are assessed. By the end of the course, pupils must consistently and routinely meet various competencies and if successful will receive an endorsement on their A Level certificate. Many universities require the practical endorsement as part of their admissions criteria for a wide range of courses.
