Each qualification(course/subject) is divided into Units. Each Unit of the course holds a mark percentage. Students must study for and sit board examinations for every unit of a course in order to have completed the entire qualification.

Question 4

How are Edexcel A-level qualification structure beneficial?

Accepted Answer

For example; a student chooses to do Business Studies' A-levels qualifications. The entire Business studies course is divided into Four(4) Units. 
 
If a student does not score well in 1 of the 4 units in their board exams. They have the option to only re-sit the one unit he/she did not do well in. This way the student secures their grade from the 3 units they socred well in and can bump up their overall course grade by re-sitting the board exam for only that one unit.

Question 5

What if i score a lower grade in my re-sit?

Accepted Answer

If a student re-sits a board exam for a unit and they score lower then their previous grade. Edexcel will consider the pervious grade that was higher than the re-sit.
 
This way the student can never lose marks but instead only have ways to bump up their grades.
