Assessment

You will be formally assessed at the end of Y13, where you will sit two exams: Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1, Language, the individual and society, will last for 2 hours 30 minutes and consist of 2 sections, totalling 40% of your grade. Paper 2, Language diversity and change, lasts for 2 hours 30 minutes and again, will total 40% of your final grade. Finally, you will complete the two pieces of NEA outlined above, which will be marked internally, before being sent off to be moderated by the examination board. This will total 20% of your final grade, completing the course. As a department, we will conduct ongoing assessments throughout the two years that will test your development of skills and question styles assessed by the exam board.
