History

Assessment

The A-level history course consists of three taught modules and one independent study. Paper 1 and Paper 3 are each assessed in a 135-minute written exam and are each worth 30% of the total mark. Paper 2 is assessed in a 90-minute exam worth 20% of the total mark. The remaining 20% of the total mark is based on the ‘Non-Examined Assessment,’ or independent study. Exams are sat at the end of Year 2.
