Which mark to consider to carry forward to A2? I am studying AQA A level. Your teacher will assess your practical skills throughout the 2 years and you will receive a separate practical endorsement grade for that. Some practical skills will be assessed in the written papers.
Introduction Hi! My name is Daniel Lim Jhao Jian. Here is where I share my experience, knowledge and ideas. You are welcome to leave comments and follow my blog. You are free to copy anything from this blog. Please recommend this blog to your friends.
Why is this the case? The fact is that, CIE is significantly different compared to the other examination boards. This is advantageous since AS is easier than A2. There are 2 examination sessions every year in June and in January, and students can take one or more units for each subject in each session, so it is possible to split the entire A Level into 4 separate sessions 2 for AS and 2 for A2. Students who wish to retake a subject can choose to retake only a single unit that they did not score well.
For CIE A Level instead, there are also 2 examination sessions every year in June and in November, but since there are no individual units, students must take the entire AS or entire A2 for each subject in one examination session, so it is possible to split the entire A Level into only 2 separate sessions 1 for AS and 1 for A2.
Students who wish to retake a subject must retake the entire AS or entire A2 or both of that subject. Moreover, for science subjects in UK A Level, some of the marks are awarded for the quality of writing, which includes the ability to structure the answer logically, grammar, punctuation, spelling and others, while for science subjects in CIE A Level, no mark is given for the quality of writing.
Therefore, students taking UK A Level have to take care of their quality of writing when answering the science subjects, otherwise they would lose marks. In my opinion, marks should not be given for quality of writing in science subjects because quality of writing should only be tested in language subjects. In UK A Level, students are not penalised if their answers are given to 2 or 4 significant figures, but they are penalised if their answers are given to less than 2 or more than 4 significant figures, while in CIE A Level, students are not penalised if they give their answers to 4 significant figures or more, but they are penalised if they give their answers to 2 significant figures or less.
However, UK A Level has changed recently. The first step of the changes is that subjects in UK A Level no longer have individual units, so the entire AS or entire A2 for each subject must be taken in one examination session.
Students wishing to retake a subject also have to retake the entire AS or entire A2 of that subject. The course covers Biology, Chemistry and Physics and is an ideal primer for the non scientist.
