Salters - Nuffield Advanced Biology
The Edexcel GCE Biology specification represents two approaches leading to the same learning outcomes. All students sit the same exams.
By the end of the course the students will have covered the same biology, and there is one common assessment structure. Both courses are assessed through interesting coursework, and examination questions referring to biological contexts, applications and practical work.
There is a limit to how much context can be included in an exam question anyway, as you just add too much to the reading required.
