Geography

Assessment

Examinations will be held in the Summer Term at the end of the A Level course and are based on a physical geography paper, a human geography paper and the submission of an independent fieldwork study (NEA). The exams and non-exam assessment will measure how well students have achieved the following assessment objectives: AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of places, environments, concepts, processes, interactions and change, at a variety of scales (30–40%). AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding in different contexts to interpret, analyse and evaluate geographical information and issues (30–40%). AO3: Use a variety of relevant quantitative, qualitative and fieldwork skills to: Investigate geographical questions and issues. Interpret, analyse and evaluate data and evidence. Construct arguments and draw conclusions (20–30%). Assessment objectives (AOs) are set by Ofqual and are the same across all A-level Geography specifications and all exam boards.
