Is SNAB appropriate for all abilities at advanced level?

All centres have different entry requirements for their AS and A-level courses.

Students with higher grade GCSE scores seem to be doing just as well with SNAB as on the other specifications. Students with lower GCSE scores tend to do a little better in SNAB.

A general observation of the 2005 course is that there is plenty of challenging material for the higher ability students, both biological content and within the social, moral and ethical aspects.

The lower ability students are more interested and involved in the course than their predecessors in previous specifications, and so stick with it and worked harder, succeeding where they might previously have dropped out or failed.
