Assessment Assessment is a mix of coursework and external exams. Most units are internally assessed through assignments such as written reports, practical activities, and presentations based on real sports situations. These are then externally moderated by the exam board (OCR) to make sure standards are consistent across all centres. A few key units are externally assessed through exams or set tasks. This mix of assessment methods allows you to show both your practical skills and theoretical understanding throughout the course.
