Psychology

Assessment

As shown above the A level consists of 3 X 2 hour papers all of equal weighting. Students also complete end of topic tests at the end of each unit (around every 6 weeks over the year). Question styles in Psychology vary and include multiple choice questions, labelling diagrams, drawing graphs, designing your own study based on a scenario, short answer and extended essay writing. All key assessments are based on past exam questions and use official mark schemes. We also have mock exams in January and after Easter in year 1 and 2
