Electronics

Assessment

The linear A Level Electronics course will be assessed by your performance in two exams at the end of the second year. These exams are synoptic and between them, will cover all the elements from the entire two years of study. Each exam is 2 hours 45 minutes long and will contribute 40% to your final A Level grade. The coursework component contributes the final 20%. There are two elements to this; the first task will challenge you to solve a problem by programming a microcontroller in assembly language. The second will require you to design, build and test a sophisticated circuit that performs a function of your own choosing. This will require you to apply several aspects of the course into a complete circuit realisation.
