Is single science the same as triple science?

Triple Award Science (sometimes known as ‘Separate Sciences’ or ‘Single Sciences’) is where students study all three sciences and end up with three GCSEs. It can cause confusion because, when parents were at school, “Double Science” meant two of the three science subjects.
