Assessment

The A level will be assessed at the end of Year 13. The assessment will be comprised of three examinations which cover the content delivered over the two-year course. The results of these three papers determine the overall grade that a student receives. Additionally, there are a series of practical endorsements that are completed during the course. These are designed to develop students’ skills within the laboratory. The practical endorsement is reported to the exam board as either a pass or fail. The results of the practical endorsement do not contribute to the final overall grade.
