GCSE Combined Science and ELC The content covered in each GCSE Combined Science paper has been split into two parts for the ELC. Each of these parts makes up a new paper for the ELC tests as shown below. E.g. content in GCSE Combined Science B1, is redeveloped for ELC and covered in units B1A and B1B. GCSE Combined Science papers ELC Science tests ELC Further Science B1 Paper 1: Biology 1A Paper 2: Biology 1B C1 Paper 3: Chemistry 1A Paper 4: Chemistry 1B P1 Paper 5: Physics 1A Paper 6: Physics 1B B2 Paper 1: Biology 2A Paper 2: Biology 2B C2 Paper 3: Chemistry 2A Paper 4: Chemistry 2B P2 Paper 5: Physics 2A Paper 6: Physics 2B
