AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) is the most-sat double-award Combined Science qualification in England, covering Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in a structure that awards two GCSE grades (e.g. 7-7, 5-4). Students sit six 1 hour 15 minute papers — two per science — at Foundation (grades 1-1 to 5-5) or Higher tier (grades 4-4 to 9-9), each worth 70 marks for a total of 420.
