Biology

Assessment

A Level Biology is a linear qualification which means that assessment will take place at the end of the course. The A Level will be 100% externally assessed, there are no coursework elements. Students will be expected to complete 12 core practicals throughout the course. Teacher assessment of student skills, techniques and competency when completing practical work will count towards the Practical Endorsement at A Level. This is separate to the A level grade and if awarded, will be recorded as a ‘Pass’ on A Level certificates.
