AQA A Level Science
Assessment Objectives

AQA only: AQA A Level Biology (7402), Chemistry (7405) and Physics (7408). An examination manual for an A Level science department, covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics. It is about how the three qualifications are assessed and how students gain marks, not how to teach the content. The three sciences share one set of assessment objectives and weight them differently, so most pages here cover all three.

Cover of AQA A Level Science Assessment Objectives — Exam Preparation

Written for this specification. Part One is board-specific and quoted verbatim from AQA’s own document; everything after it is about how the assessment works and how students gain marks.

The assessment objectives are worded almost identically across boards and weighted differently, so this book covers AQA only. Check the board you teach before buying.
