Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be assessed by a written exam at the end of the linear A-Level course. Both exams will last 2 hours and each unit will be worth 30%. Paper 3 is a synoptic investigation on knowledge and understanding from compulsory content drawn from different parts of the course, where you assess and evaluate a global issue. The exam will last 1 hour and 45 minutes and will be worth 20%. The independent investigation unit is a non-examined assessment and is worth 20% of the qualification. You are expected to produce a written report of 3000-4000 words that is based on fieldwork on a topic of your choice, related to the course content.
