Edexcel A Level Science Assessment Objectives — Exam Prep

Pearson Edexcel only: Biology A (9BN0), Biology B (9BI0), Chemistry (9CH0) and Physics (9PH0). Four qualifications that share their assessment objectives and not their papers, so the weightings hold across the sciences while Paper 3 does not — and Paper 3 is 40 per cent.

Cover of Pearson Edexcel A Level Science Assessment Objectives — Exam Preparation

An examination manual for a Pearson Edexcel A Level science department. The four qualifications share one set of assessment objectives and weight them the same way, which makes the differences between them easy to miss. The biggest of those is Paper 3, worth 40 per cent and structured unlike anything in Papers 1 and 2.

Every core practical is covered, for all four sciences: Edexcel examines them in the written papers as well as through the Science Practical Endorsement, which is reported separately on the certificate. Answer ladders show what separates a weak response from an exceptional one, and the checklists are built to be printed and used.
