The course is linear, with all exams taken at the end of Year 11 and no coursework or controlled assessments; 100% of the grade comes from six equally weighted written exams. Each exam is 1 hour 15 minutes and includes foundation and higher tiers. Practical work is central, requiring sixteen required practicals across the course (and eight for each separate science).","SCIENCE TRILOGY – COMBINED SCIENCE (AQA GCSE)  \nCombined science (trilogy) combines the three sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) to make a double award equivalent to two GCSEs. The combined trilogy specification has been developed in order to inspire and challenge students of all abilities and aspirations.  \nExam board and specification What will be studied  \nExam board: AQA  \nCourse code: 8464 Web link to specification:  \n[http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/ science/gcse](http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/ science/gcse)  \n[How is the course assessed?](How is the course assessed?)  \nThe qualification is linear so all exams will be taken atthe end of Year 11. There is no coursework or controlled assessments, 100% of the grade is determined by exams. There will be six exams of equal weighting (covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics), each out of 70 marks, which will combine together to give two GCSEs. Each written exam will be 1hour 15minutes, offered at both foundation and higher tier.  \nPractical work is at the heart of science, so we have placed it at the heart of both combined and separate specifications.  \nThere are sixteen required practical’s that have to be completed throughout the course for GCSE combined science and eight for each separate science.  \nWhat will this qualification lead to?  \nAs well as providing a sound foundation for A level study in a number of subjects including biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, computer science and physical education, GSCEs in the three sciences can lead to a range of careers. These include; dentist, doctor, forensic scientist, teacher, astronaut, astronomer, audiologist, clinical psychologist, ecologist, engineer, laboratory technician, meteorologist, microbiologist, nanotechnologist, electrician, palaeontologist, pharmacologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, sport and exercise scientist, nutritionist, vet, zoologist and many more!  \nSCIENCE TRILOGY – SEPARATE SCIENCE (AQA GCSE)  \nStudents following the triple science course will study three GCSEs in biology, chemistry and physics. All of these qualifications have been developed in order to inspire and challenge students of all abilities and aspirations. Whilst the content of this course is similar to that studied in the combined science qualification, it covers topics in more depth and includes additional, more challenging content.  \nHow is the course assessed? The qualification is linear so all exams will be taken at the end of Year 11. There is no coursework or controlled assessments, 100% of grade is determined by exams.  \nWeb link to specification: [http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/ science/gcse](http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/ science/gcse)  \n[Biology course code-8461 What will be studied?](Biology course code-8461 What will be studied?)  \nChemistry course code – 8462  \nWhat will be studied?  \nPhysics course code – 8463  \nWhat will be studied?  \nWhat will this qualification lead to?
