Assessment

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? A variety of assessment tasks are undertaken. Some are practical assessments, some involve written documentation of skills gained, and some are research-based tasks. Students sit exams in Unit 1 (Maths, Physics and Electronics), Unit 3 (Engineering Design) and Unit 6 (Microcontrollers). Unit 1 and 3 are sat in Year 12, and Unit 6 in January of Year 13. One assessment is in the form of a formal written exam; the others are a practical assessment and is completed over a number of lessons. You will be set a problem by the Exam board, and have to design and manufacture a working solution.
