What the college says
The skills which will be required and which will be examined will be the same in both years, though more rigorously tested in Year 13. The source evaluation techniques acquired at GCSE will be developed, as will the understanding of cause and effect, and the nature of change. Comprehension of books and articles, fluent expression in writing, and the ability to argue effectively using evidence to prove points are vital. The study skills for these points are integral to the course.See school website for latest information using provided link and navigating to 'Sixth Form Subject Directory'
