Assessment

At A-level, there are three examinations. A paper each for Themes 2 and 3 and Themes 1 and 4 (each making up 35% of the mark) and the third paper (30% of the mark), a synoptic paper drawing on material from all four themes. It is of two hours duration and uses a pre-released context document that the examination board will publish in the June preceding the examination year. Both sections of the examination will comprise one data response question broken down into a number of parts including one extended open response question. Each section will contain previously unseen stimulus materials comprising both quantitative and qualitative material.
