Assessment

Students take 3 exams at the end of Year 13 and submit one piece of coursework (NEA) in the first term of Year 13. The exams are made up of a mix of short answer and essay questions. Quantitative math skills are also included in the exams, as well as qualitative image analysis and data critique. The NEA is a 4000-word research piece completed in Year 13 on a topic of the student’s choice. Students enjoy showing their individuality and researching in greater depth about a location or current issue they find interesting. It is a fantastic opportunity to develop critical thinking and research skills which are vital for university and employment. • Examination: 80% • Coursework: 20%
