In GCSE Science (Single Award), students must sit six end-of-unit tests – one for each unit studied. The end-of-unit tests last 45 minutes and are each worth 12 percent of the final award. There are a maximum of eight questions in each test paper.
The end-of-unit tests are availablethree times per year. Students can re-sit each test paper once. The best results for each end-of-unit test are amalgamated into an overall GCSE result. Only one mark can be submitted for individual units. There is no final exam for this specification. For more information on the end-of-unit tests, see the full specification.
