History

Assessment

Students take 3 papers which are between 2 hours 15 minutes long and 2.5 hours long. Two papers have 2 large essays from a choice of titles and the third exam has 3 large essays to complete. There is also a coursework assignment which will assess the ability to carry out a historical enquiry, analysing and evaluating historical interpretations, and organising and communicating the findings. This counts for 20% of the total qualification.
