What the college says

This is a two year course which is examined at the end of Year 13. There is no coursework that contributes to the grade, but there is a separate qualification called a CPAC. This is assessed as a pass or fail by exam boards, and is required for some university courses, but not all.

What you need to get on

The Biology Advanced level course is both demanding and stimulating. To be accepted onto this course you must have a minimum of two grade 6s in a dual award Science or a 6 in Biology Single Science with a 6 in another science. The new A Level course now contains 25 separate listed mathematical skills which you will be examined on so a grade 6 in Maths is required.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
