Updated sample assessment materials for Cambridge Advanced National in Applied Science
22 October 2025
For our Cambridge Advanced National in Applied Science (H051/H151), we've made minor updates to the sample assessment materials, as follows:
- For Unit F180: Fundamentals of science, we have updated the mark scheme for question 9 (b) and (c).
- For Unit F182: Investigating science, we have updated Task 1 to include references to the Teacher Authentication Form. The assessment guidance for P1 now includes the following wording: ‘Following this discussion, the Teacher Authentication Form for Task 1 must be completed. This confirms that the student conducted the research independently and that the work is solely their own’.
We have updated the remaining sample assessment materials for Applied Science to reflect our new ‘Cambridge OCR’ brand.
You can view and download the updated sample assessment materials from the Assessment > Sample assessment materials section of the Applied Science qualification pages on our website. These materials are also available on Teach Cambridge.
