Biology

Assessment

Three written papers assess content from ALL modules. Practical skills are assessed in the written papers. All papers are synoptic. In addition, there is a practical endorsement in biology, which is a non-exam assessment. This will require you to complete and submit evidence of 12 practical tasks over the two years of study. It will result in either a pass or fail mark but does not contribute to the A Level mark. Universities offering science courses have said that they will require a pass in order to offer students a place.
