Key Assessment Notes

  • All three papers are sat at the end of Year 13 - A Level Physics is linear (not modular)
  • The Practical Endorsement is assessed by your teacher over the two years of the course
  • Most university science courses require a Pass in the Practical Endorsement
  • Grade boundaries shift each year based on overall cohort performance - boundaries above are indicative
