Assessment

The Graphic Communication A-Level is comprised of 2 main components. Component 1 - Personal Investigation - 60% of final grade. Component 2 - Externally Set Assignment - 40% of final grade. The personal investigation is fully coursework based and the externally set assignment is partial coursework that we call the 'preparation' and then a final exam that consists of a 15 hour controlled assignment where students spend 5 hours, each day, for 3 days, completing their final piece under exam conditions.
