Assessment

There are 2 exams, one of which is more theory heavy and one is more practical. The practical one is an on-screen programming paper which is based on a prerelease we study throughout Year 13. The exams are both 40% and are done at the end of Year 13. The remaining 20% is a coursework task which is where you create a programming project of your choice. In the past we have had apps, websites, and desktop applications made based on a variety of ideas, ranging from games to sports tracking to supporting a business. This coursework is started towards the end of Year 12.
