Assessment

Assessment Methods: A combination of external examinations (written papers) and internal assignments (coursework/portfolio) set by the awarding body (e.g., Pearson or OCR) but marked by the school/college and moderated externally. Assessment Weighting: Typically, the overall grade is weighted heavily toward the external assessment (around 50-66% depending on the specific awarding body).Grading: The qualification is graded as Pass (P), Merit (M), or Distinction (D), with a starred Distinction (D*) being the highest. These grades carry UCAS points equivalent to an A-Level, allowing for university entry.
