EXAMS

Trinity Academy uses the AQA examboard for A-Level Biology.  A-level Biology lasts two years, with exams at the end of the second year.   There is no coursework on this course. However, your performance during practicals will be assessed. There are three exams at the end of the two years for A-level, all of which are two hours long. At least 15% of the marks for A-level Biology are based on what you learned in your practicals.
