Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Core, Additional, Triple Science GCSE? Explain please???

So in year 10 I did both core science and additional science with edexcel. I now have a GCSE in core and a GCSE in additional. I'm now in year 11 and doing triple science. I heard someone say that triple gives you THREE gcses extra, as in I would end up with core, additional, and then 3 individual science gcses.
But obviously this doesn't seem right. So could someone explain what I will end up with in the end please. Will I have core, additional and triple gcses? I'm sitting 3 exams for triple in June, and doing one piece of coursework.

Thank you :biggrin:

Depends on which science you are doing:

For example, I'm doing OCR Gateway and Triple Science is structured as:

Core Science
B1C1P1
B2C2P2
One piece of controlled assessment

Additional Science
B3C3P3
B4C4P4
One piece of controlled assessment

Further Additional Science
B5C5P5
B6C6P6
One piece of controlled assessment

Or

Physics
P1P2P3
P4P5P6
One piece of controlled assessment

Chemistry
C1C2C3
C4C5C6
One piece of controlled assessment

Biology
B1B2B3
B4B5B6
One piece of controlled assessment
