Who should sit this GCSE Biology equivalency exam?
You require a GCSE Biology equivalency for entry into a higher education course that accepts GCSE equivalencies (typically teacher training QTS, midwifery and nursing).
Be aware the GCSE Biology equivalency is a single science discipline and therefore requires a strong depth of knowledge and understanding. The GCSE Combined Science equivalency test is spread more across Biology, Chemistry and Physics and therefore it has greater breadth but slightly less depth.
