Pearson Edexcel
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.

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 — and 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, because Edexcel examines them directly rather than through a separate endorsement. Answer ladders show what separates a weak response from an exceptional one, and the checklists are built to be printed and used.
- Written to Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (9BN0), Biology B (9BI0), Chemistry (9CH0) and Physics (9PH0)
