3 Assessment Overview The current grading system, using A* to G, will be replaced by a numeric system, 9 to 1 (with 9 being at the top of the scale). The scheme of assessment will consist of two tiers: foundation tier and higher tier. Foundation tier assesses grades 5 to 1 and higher tier assesses grades 9 to 4. An allowed grade 3 may be awarded on the higher tier option for students who are a small number of marks below the grade 3/4 boundary. Students must be entered for either the foundation tier or the higher tier. Summary of regulatory requirements Requirements AO1 (Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: scientific ideas, scientific techniques and procedures.) AO2 (Apply knowledge and understanding of: scientific ideas, scientific enquiry, techniques and procedures.) AO3 (Analyse information and ideas to: interpret and evaluate, make judgements and draw conclusions, develop and improve experimental procedures.) Targets Assessment of maths in question papers Biology 10% Assessment of practical in question papers 15% Overlap between foundation and higher tiers 20% Minimum assessment time 40% 40% 20% Chemistry 20% Physics 30% Combined Science 20% 3.5 hours for each single Science 7 hours for Combined Science Practical requirements The new GCSEs will require students to carry out a minimum of eight practical activities for each single Science and sixteen practical activities for Combined Science. The practical activities can be completed at any point during the two-year GCSE course at the discretion of the centre. Similar to our suite of AS Level Sciences, practical activities are embedded throughout the teaching topics to encourage practical activities in the classroom. The development of practical skills is a fundamental and integral aspect of the study of any scientific subject which will help students throughout their course in preparation for the written examinations. 8 ocr.org.uk/gcsescience

6 Progression pathways We offer a range of qualifications across Key Stages 4 and 5: from Entry Level Science to AS and A Levels in a range of sciences. There are clear progression routes from one end of the ability range to the other. At each stage, the qualifications provide students with the foundations to progress to the next with confidence.
