Assessment

There are three exams at the end of the two-year course (2x 2 ¼ hours 1x 1 ½ hours). As with all of the linear A levels, these are the only exams which count towards the A level grade. Practical work is assessed throughout the two-year course and is examined with specific questions in all exam papers. There is a separate ‘practical endorsement’ (pass or fail) which is likely to be included in offers for most university courses.
