Edexcel IGCSE Double Award Science- I do all the three subjects. How is the double award decided?
I am doing Physics, Chemistry and Biology under Edexcel's IGCSE Science Double Award new from 2009 specification. How will the final grades in Science be shown in the Certifcate ? Will an average of the marks obtained in all the 3 subjects be taken and shown for 2 subjects, or will the 2 highest marks be averaged and shown ? Could someone please explain this in detail, how the double award grades will be worked out?

Basically double awards are for subject that the exam boards thinks students do more than what they would for a singular GCSE.
The Double Award basically means you will get to GCSE's at the same grade so two B written on your certificate B B (or A* A).
the grade will include all 3 subjects and the weighints will most likely be 33.333% of each adding up to your final mark
so if each exam was out of 33.3
Bio 20/33.3
Chem 30/33.3
Physics 25/33.3
Total 75/100
hope that's explains it any questions email me
