Government and Politics

Assessment

Formal internal assessments take place once every half term and homework is set on a regular basis. Grades are determined by three components: two examined modules and an Engagement Activity (or Non-Examined Assessment) in the form of written report. Final examinations take place in May at the end of the 2-year course. HL students complete an additional non-examined assessment in the form of two oral presentations on Global Political Challenges. An end of year exam must be passed for entry to year 2 and a mock exam must be passed for entry into the public exams.
