At the time of print, Ofqual has not approved all the exam boards’ specifications and a final choice will be made later this year. Biology A level is linear which means that students will sit all the AS exams at the end of their AS course and all the A level exams at the end of their A level course. The AS level will be a stand-alone qualification and it will not contribute to the A level. The content of the course builds on topics studied at GCSE, but these are delivered with much greater depth at A level. The content is likely to include: 1. Biological molecules 2. Cells 3. Organisms exchange substances with their environment 4. Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms 5. Energy transfers in and between organisms (A level only) 6. Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments (A level only) 7. Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems (A level only) 8. The control of gene expression (A level only)
