You will take three exams which total 80% of your grade, with 20% for the independent investigation. All exams are at the end of the course and include: • Terminology questions which require a precise definition • Short-answer questions using a resource, such as a graph, photograph or map. • Short answer questions requiring explanation or analysis. • Skills questions where you make calculations. • Short essays where you will evaluate, discuss or assess a point of view, action or issue. • Longer essays which require you to undertake a more detailed examination of a topic.
