Assessment

Students will take three written examinations (two worth 35% and one worth 30%) at the end of the two year course. Practical work will be assessed in the written papers. Approximately 15% of the total A-Level marks will be for practical knowledge and understanding. Students will also need to complete a minimum of twelve practicals set by the exam board. These will be assessed internally and do not contribute to the overall A Level grade but if students pass, a separate ‘endorsement’ of practical work will be reported on their certificate.
