Psychology

Assessment

There will be three exams of two-hour duration at the end of the second year. This is a linear two-year course. Each exam carries equal weighting. There is no coursework, but you will be set research projects to help you apply your psychological research methods knowledge. Throughout the course, you will be assessed through a variety of essays, exam questions, knowledge tests and practical research projects. Results from these will form the basis of your teacher-assessed progress grade. However, your actual final grade depends solely on your performance in the final three exams at the end of the two-year course.
