Assessment

You can expect regular tests, set by your teacher, on recently completed topics throughout the course. Your scores will indicate to your teacher how effectively you are learning the skills being covered in the lessons. They will be able to predict how you are likely to perform on the external examinations set by the Awarding Body. The A level is externally assessed in the June of the Upper Sixth by three written examinations each of 2 hours; Papers 1 and 2 are based upon Pure content and Paper 3 is based upon the Applied content (Statistics and Mechanics).
