Assessment

AS consists of 5 topic areas assessed through 2 written exams. Practical skills are assessed through the written exam only. A level consists of 9 topic areas assessed through 3 written exams. Where appropriate, practical skills are assessed through the written exams and form part of the A-level grade. A separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the A level. This will be teacher assessed during lessons and will be based on direct observation of a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams.
