Assessment

This is carried out on a continuous basis throughout each unit of study. At the end of each unit an internal assessment is undertaken by each pupil and must be passed to ensure final certification.

These assessments cover all the Key Ideas taught and are vital preparation for the final examination. This involves testing of Knowledge & Understanding and Enquiry Skills which have been taught throughout S3 and S4.
