Assessment

Units are both internally and externally assessed. BTEC qualifications now include written exams, not just internally moderated coursework. Candidates receive two chances to sit exams in both January and May/June. Exams contain shorter style questions than A Level equivalents and the grade boundaries tend to be lower. Unit weighting for both Year 1 and Year 2 is around two-thirds exam-based and one-third coursework and practical based.
