Mark Guide : Final Mark Total
Science Single Subject

For each subject;

A total of 4 marks are needed, one each of P,O,A and E.
At least one mark must be from a full practical investigation;
(i.e. not computer simulation, data research, etc.)
The marks must be from no more than 2 pieces of work.

Final Mark Total = P+O+A+E
Maximum Final Mark Total = 30

Example 1
