Mark Guide : Final Mark Total
Science Double Award

A total of 8 marks are needed, two each of P,O,A and E.
These marks can be from any two, or all three, of the subject areas.
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 4 pieces of work.

Final Mark Total = P+P+O+O+A+A+E+E
Maximum Final Mark Total = 60

Example 1

A very good set of marks, just two short of maximum. A* standard.

Title	Subject	P	O	A	E
Enzymes	Biol	X	6	5	3
Photosynthesis	Biol	8	7	7	5
Rates of Reaction	Chem	8	8	6	4
Reactivity	Chem	X	X	6	4
Resistance	Phys	7	7	7	6
Electromagnet	Phys	8	8	8	4
Final Mark Total		58/60

Example 2

A good set of Foundation marks. Good C grade.

Title	Subject	P	O	A	E
Enzymes	Biol	X	5	4	2
Photosynthesis	Biol	6	6	6	4
Rates of Reaction	Chem	5	5	5	2
Reactivity	Chem	X	X	5	3
Resistance	Phys	4	4	4	2
Electromagnet	Phys	5	4	X	X
Final Mark Total		40/60
