History

Assessment

A Level History is a two-year linear course. You will sit two x 2.30 hour papers at the end of Year 13, which will assess your knowledge and understanding of the content you’ve learned and the skills you’ve developed throughout the course. These two equally weighted papers are worth 80% of the course. Questions consist of 30-mark extract-based essay questions and 25-mark essay questions. In addition to this, you will also complete a Historical Investigation. This is a 3,500–4,500 word research-based extended essay on a historical topic of your own choosing. This is worth 20% of the course.
