Students Improving Their Environmental Science Grades
"My tutor showed me how to structure evaluation answers and I stopped just describing and started actually analysing. My paper marks improved massively."
Rosa K.
A Level Environmental Science, OCR, Summer 2024
"I was losing marks on data response questions until my tutor showed me exactly what the mark scheme is looking for. Such a simple fix that made a big difference."
Daniel F.
A Level Environmental Science, OCR, Summer 2024
"My independent investigation was a mess until my tutor helped me see how to structure the analysis properly. I went from a D to a high C overall."
Amara J.
A Level Environmental Science, OCR, Summer 2023

A Level Environmental Science Assessment Structure
Understand exactly how you'll be assessed and prepare strategically for each component
Paper 1
Written ExamLiving world, atmosphere, freshwater and marine systems - data response and extended writing
Paper 2
Written ExamEnergy, pollution, sustainability, human populations and environmental management
Independent Investigation (NEA)
Coursework / NEAAn independent fieldwork or research investigation on an environmental topic of your choice
Grade Boundaries (Summer 2024)
Grade boundaries shift each session. These are indicative based on recent exam-board data.
Key Assessment Notes
- Environmental Science A Level is offered by OCR and a smaller number of other boards - check your school's specification
- The independent investigation accounts for roughly a quarter of your grade - start planning early
- The course rewards evaluative thinking: practise weighing evidence, not just describing it
- Grade boundaries shift each year based on overall cohort performance
