Assessment

You will be assessed through end of topic tests under timed conditions in class, regular homework questions and through completion of class activities. You will then be given detailed feedback on your progress. Investigative skills and understanding are a vital part of the scientific process and you will be expected to develop your practical proficiency throughout the course to pass the practical endorsement at the end of the two years. You will sit formal A Level exams at the end of your two years of study, which will include questions on the practical skills that you have developed, comprehension questions, data analysis questions and essay style questions. A Level grades will be based only on marks for written exams, and your practical endorsement will be assessed separately as pass or fail.
