Biology

Assessment

There is no coursework on this course. However, your performance against certain competencies during practicals will be assessed and be accredited in an endorsement (this does not count towards the A Level). There are three exams at the end of the second year of study. At least 15% of the marks for A Level Biology are based on what you learned in your practicals and 10% of marks are based on Maths skills. In the third A Level paper you will write a 25 mark essay, given a choice of two titles.
