It details the transition to the 9-1 grading system, where Combined Science serves as a double award equivalent to two GCSEs, represented by paired grades ranging from 9-9 to 1-1. The guide explains how these grades are determined, the significance of the 15% mark allocation for practical assessments, and the increased academic rigor of the reformed curriculum compared to the previous A* to G grading scale.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/gcse-combined-science-grade-combinations-explained/623837/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/gcse-combined-science-grade-combinations-explained/623837.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Alexandar","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-05","2026-10-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the grading range for GCSE Combined Science?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Combined Science receives an award worth two GCSEs, represented by two equal or adjacent grades ranging from 9-9 down to 1-1.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the significance of the 15% mark allocation?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"At least 15% of the total marks for the qualification are derived from exam questions specifically addressing practical work and techniques.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How are different grades ordered in a combined award?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"If the two grades in a combined award are different, the higher number is always reported on the left.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},623837,1792694716,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":34,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":14,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":24,"preview_page_count":4},962090768658,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","GCSE COMBINED SCIENCE  \nDOUBLE AWARD GRADE COMBINATIONS  \n9 8  \n7 6  \n5 4  \n3  \n2  \n1  \nU  \n9 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 5 4 4 3 3  \n2 2 1 1  \n9 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 5 4 4 3  \n3 2 2 1  \nU  \nScience GCSEs are changing in England  \n Students do at least 8 practical activities (16 for combined science) covering specific apparatus and techniques.  \n Exam questions about practical work make up at least 15% of the total marks for the qualification.  \n As with all reformed GCSEs, the content is more challenging than previous GCSEs graded A* to G.  \nEach single science will be worth one GCSE grade.
