Assessment

Biology A-Level is a fully linear course so assessment of knowledge and understanding of the whole course takes place at the end of two years of study. There will be a total of three exams totalling six hours of examinations and a minimum series of 12 practical sessions that must be covered and evidenced in lab books to gain the practical endorsement that sits alongside the A-Level. You will have the chance to work with lots of new laboratory equipment including; water baths, colorimeters, incubators, dissection kits and field study apparatus to strengthen a range of different practical skills.
