Sociology

Assessment

As shown above the A level consists of 3 X 2 hour papers all of equal weighting. Students also complete mid and end of topic tests for each unit (around every 6 weeks over the year). Questions in Sociology involve short answer responses relating to definitions of key concepts, application of knowledge and extended essay writing. All key assessments are based on past exam questions and use official mark schemes. Students also have mock exams in January and after Easter in year 1 and 2.
