The new Pearson Edexcel Biology A specifications are available for AS and A level. These are linear qualifications. All examination papers must be taken in the same series. The specification is divided into eight topics. The topics for AS Biology are the same as those for the first year of A level, so that the two specifications are co-teachable. How AS and A level Biology A (Salters-Nuffield) will be assessed: AS paper 1 Topic 1: Lifestyle, health and risk Topic 2: Genes and health Experimental methods (including questions on core practicals) AS paper 2 Topic 3: Voice of the genome Topic 4: Biodiversity and natural resources Experimental methods (including questions on core practicals) Practical assessment There are 18 core practicals that cover all of the 12 techniques required for the practical competency measure. Knowledge of all core practicals can be tested within exam papers. Core practicals form part of the practical competency assessment
