Edexcel GCSE Science Courses

New Science GCSEs are starting this year – 2011/2012. If you are in year 10, you’ll be starting the new (core) Science course. If you’re in year 11, you’ll almost certainly be studying the old Additional Science course or the old extension module is you’re doing triple science.

Make sure you know which you’re doing – old or new!
