GCSE Triple Science - How many exams?

I am currently a student in year 11 and I was just wondering: how many exams do triple science students sit?

I was told that there are 2 papers for each subject (physics, biology, chemistry) - is this right?

Also, my teachers said that we are doing combined science: trilogy with AQA. Is that triple science and will I get 3 grades from it?

Triple science = 6 exams (2 for each subject)

But if your teacher said you're doing combined science I don't think you'll be doing quite so many (it'll be on the exam board's website). From what I know, combined science isn't the same as triple science.

Okay, thank you for the answer. We're going to do a mock exam in January, then after looking at the results, the teachers will decide who actually sits the triple science exams. So i think we're just learning the triple content just in case.

It's a two year thread so they very likely already have their GCSEs, but GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy is a double award. They would have got 2 GCSEs from it.

GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy and the separate / triple sciences all sit 2 exams per science. The triple science exams are longer though.
