All external exams for the A Level will be taken in the summer of the second year. In addition to a grade for your score on these papers, you will also receive either a “pass” or “fail” for the practical skills you have developed over the course. For Biology, there are three 2-hour papers: Paper 1 is on modules 1 to 4 only, Paper 2 is on modules 5 to 8 only and Paper 3 is on all modules and includes a 25-mark essay question. Papers 1 and 2 both contribute 35% to your final mark, while Paper 3 counts for 30%.
Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths.
