Science Entry Level

Information about levels of qualifications

GCSEs at grades 4-9 are 'Level 2 qualifications'.

GCSEs at grades 1-3 are 'Level 1 qualifications'.

Entry level qualifications such as life and living skills are aimed at students who are not yet ready for GCSEs and find accessing GCSE- level materials more challenging. Within entry level qualifications students may achieve 'Entry Level 1', 'Entry Level 2' and 'Entry Level 3' - all of these are entry level (not yet level 1) qualifications.

There are other types of qualifications, including music exams, which are level 2, level 1 or entry level qualifications.
