International A Level Biology/ Chemistry

Hi!
I am studying in Spain so I have to do the international A Levels with Edexcel.
Does anyone know if I need to undertake practicals? I understand the importance of learning them and will do so.
I know with the regular A Levels, a certain percentage of your grade is off the practicals. Does anyone know if this is the same with the international?
I have looked on Edexcels website but can't find the right information.
Thank you 😊

Hey!!!
The practicals are a required part of the qualification even if you're taking the international one
