Assessment

At A level for component 1 you will develop work for a personal investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme supported by written material (3,000-word essay). This will count for 60% of your total A level. In component 2 you will produce personal work in response to one of eight exciting starting points. Component 2 is an external assessment set by AQA and concludes with a supervised time of 15 hours. It is marked out of 96 and carries 40% weighting. The work is marked at MPW and externally moderated in June.
