Hi!
In AS-Level, any know the format of the new pratical exams in the sciences? [AQA].
Like how long you get for doing the experiment, writing up etc. ?
Is the doing and the writing up all done in big block, or do u get a set time for doing and a set time for writing etc. so if u are slow worker in doing, but great at the concluding / evaluating etc. etc. u can get the marks etc. ?
Anyone know what the pratical exams are like in the sciences? Hard? Easy? The school says it is easier than GCSE but that has got be *******s!
Thanks for ANY information.... I'm getting rather concerned and scared that I'll mess up my pratical exam... [I'm okay for exams and stuff, praticals muck me up].
Cheers

Does that help? If not there should be more detailed/specific information on the exam board websites.

I'm doing my chemistry now, its for the Slaters OCR course, others will be different. Its an individual investigation where everyone has to make up there own question/topic. We have to do a detailed plan, and work out how we are doing everything, technique makeing solutions up etc. I handed that in yesterday (10 pages) and I'm doing the riska ssesment now. The practicle work will be spread out over a few weeks but should atke about 20 hours. We then have to do all the graphs, calculations etc. Write up the results and conclusion and do an evalution working out percentage errors, evaluate the accuracy of the results, etc. Different boards will obviously be different, but I would have thought that they should al be similar, but whatever board yu do it with it WILL involving a fair amount of writng and explaining why you are doing everything.
Hope this helps.
