Assessment

This is a two year course. You will NOT be entered for an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take three external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams range from 1-2 hour and will be a mixture of short answer and essay questions. These exams: physiological (30%), psychological (20%) and social-cultural (20%) make up 70% of your final grade. The practical element of the course will be 30% of your final grade. 15% from performing and 15% analysing performance. Please note that the practical element is a very small contributor to your overall grade.
