Biology

Assessment

The course will be following the OCR(A) specification which is divided into biological topics, each containing different key concepts in Biology. Once the key features of a biological topic have been developed, applications are considered. For assessment purposes, knowledge and understanding of key concepts are treated separately in some examination papers, while a separate paper will cover unified concepts within Biology as a whole. The teaching of practical skills will be integrated with the theory topics and be assessed within each of the written papers.
