Assessment

The A Level course is assessed in three 2 hour examinations. Paper one assesses Year 12 content (units 2-5) and unit 6; paper 2 comprises unit 7-9 (but assumes knowledge from 2-5); paper three covers practical and date analysis skills from unit 1 and the Astrophysics unit. The A Level course itself contains twelve required practical activities which are assessed in the exams and result in a separate "Practical Endorsement" as evidence of the skills students have required.
