All A Level specifications focus on linear assessment for candidates at the end of the two year course, with some also including Non Examination Assessment (NEA). As such students won’t routinely be entered for AS level exams at the end of their lower sixth year, although such a route is still possible in some subjects. Academic progress will be assessed during the two years of study through our own internal examinations and related assessments. Please read the relevant subject pages for further information on assessment arrangements in specific subject areas.
