How you'll be assessed

All subjects have some form of coursework or internal assessment component and most have final examinations. The weightings of the coursework vary between subject and level so please refer to the subject guides in this booklet for specifics, however students have a significant amount of freedom over topics, questions and research. Some of the coursework is assessed via 121 oral or presentation work. All final external written exams take place in May of year two and the results are published in July (6 weeks before the A-level results!). We also hold internal exams in May of year one and January of year two.
