Preparing for Success in GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition

Success in GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition requires students to build secure knowledge of nutrition, food science, food safety, food choice, and food provenance, and to apply it to unfamiliar situations and examination questions.

Students should revise regularly, use subject-specific terminology accurately and practise applying their knowledge rather than simply learning facts. AQA assesses students' ability to recall, apply, analyse and evaluate their understanding of food, nutrition, cooking and preparation.
