Assessment

The A-Level Paper 1 assesses the content from Modules 1-4, Paper 2 assesses the content from Modules 5-8 and Paper 3 assesses the content from Modules 1 to 8 and includes a 25-mark essay. All three papers assess relevant practical skills. There is no coursework; practical skills are assessed via the Endorsed Practicals, which are pass / fail and contribute no marks to the exam total. The Field Trip at the start of year 2 is compulsory for all U6 A-Level students.
