Ideally, A-Level Chemistry should be taken in tandem with Biology for those embarking on a biology related career. Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Geography also make excellent additional subjects. Most universities expect Medical and Veterinary Science students to have studied Biology and Chemistry with Mathematics and / or Physics.
Boys wishing to study A-Level Biology should have achieved at least a grade 7 in IGCSE Biology or grades 87 in IGCSE Science (Double Award).
The A-Level Paper 1 assesses the content from Modules 1-4, Paper 2 assesses the content from Modules 5-8 and Paper 3 assesses the content from Modules 1 to 8 and includes a 25-mark essay. All three papers assess relevant practical skills. There is no coursework; practical skills are assessed via the Endorsed Practicals, which are pass / fail and contribute no marks to the exam total. The Field Trip at the start of year 2 is compulsory for all U6 A-Level students.
