Assessment

Three two-hour written examinations, assessing the work from both years. The papers will contain a mixture of multiple-choice, short and long-answer questions. One paper each will focus mainly on material from the lower Sixth and 8pper Sixth years respectively. The final paper will assess practical techniques and data analysis as well as the chosen option topic. At A Level, there is also a practical endorsement (pass grade only). This is assessed as a series of set practical tasks completed throughout the two-year course.
