Course information

Name: Applied Science Qualification title: - Qualification type: GCE A/AS Level or equivalent Assessment The course is assessed both externally (approximately 60%) and internally (approximately 40%). Two of the mandatory units are assessed externally. One is via an Examination marked by the examination board; the other is via a Task. This Task is an investigation carried out and written up in school under supervision of the teacher and then submitted to the examination board for marking. The remaining two units are assessed through the completion of assignments completed in school and assessed internally. The examination board will moderate a sample of completed student internal assignments, or can visit a centre to observe students and their work. All internally completed work therefore needs to be completed to a deadline. Awarding Pearson Education Ltd (Formerly EDEXCEL) Created 20151021 12:49:12 Updated 20161020 13:52:22
