Assessment

The A Level examinations will be taken at the end of Year 13. There are three x 2 hour papers covering the specification including the application of knowledge including practical and numerical skills. For the third paper, you will also be given some pre-release material based on current biological research on which you will answer questions. There is also a practical assessment (CPAC) which is a pass/fail in addition to the A Level qualification. You will be assessed through 18 core practicals which will be completed throughout the course during normal lessons.
