Grading Combined Science
The qualification will be graded on a 17-point scale: 1–1 to 9–9 – where 9–9 is the best grade.
A student taking Foundation Tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 1–1 to 5–5.
The grades could be the same number, e.g. 6-6. However, some students may receive a grade with adjacent numbers, e.g. 7-6. This will signify a student who is at an intermediate point between the standard required for a 6-6 grade, and the standard required for a 7-7 grade.
Students who fail to reach the minimum standard for grade 1-1 will be recorded as U (unclassified) and will not receive a qualification certificate.
A student taking Higher Tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 4-4 to 9-9. A student sitting the Higher Tier who just fails to achieve grade 4-4 will be awarded an allowed grade 4-3. Students who fail to reach the minimum standard for the allowed grade 4-3 will be recorded as U (unclassified) and will not receive a qualification certificate.
