Assessment

The A Level exam consists of Paper 1 and Paper 2 (1 hour 45 minutes), each of 30% weighting and Paper 3 (2 hours 30 minutes) which counts for 40% of the overall mark. Questions assessing students’ use of mathematical skills will make up 40% of the exam papers. The Practical Endorsement at A level is based on the 16 core practicals. This is separate to the A level grade and, if awarded, will be reported as a ‘Pass’ on A level certificates for students who achieve it.
