Three, 2-hour exams are taken at the end of the two-year course. Paper 1 assesses the four units studied in L6. Paper 2 assesses the four units studied in U6. Each of these papers contributes 35% of the marks towards the A Level. Paper 3 covers all units and represents 30% of the A Level. The style of questions varies from short and long answered questions, extended response questions, comprehension questions, critical analysis of experimental work and an essay.
