History

Assessment

This is a linear course. All of the examinations take place at the end of Upper Sixth. Unit 1 (Tudors) will be a one hour and 30 minute examination with some sources on which to base your enquiry and a choice of essays. Unit 2 (Germany) will be an hour long examination with a mixture of shorter and longer questions. Unit 3 (Colonialism and Independence) will be a two hour and 30 minute examination with a choice of essay questions and two historians’ views, which you will be expected to interpret and analyse. Unit 4 will be internally assessed, with the deadline at the end of the autumn term for assessment over Christmas. This will ensure you already have a mark for this unit on your return in January of Upper Sixth
