Assessment

To achieve your GCSE Sociology qualification, your knowledge gained during your studies of all four units will be assessed across two paper-based exams.

If you add your exams to your enrolment we will book them when you’re ready. If you choose to book your exams through us, you will need to sit your exams at centres located in either Birmingham, Bolton, Doncaster, London, or Macclesfield. Before adding the option to include your exams to your enrolment, please ensure you are able to travel to these locations.

While you are formally assessed by completing your exams, you will also need to submit tutor-marked assignments to allow your tutor to monitor your progress.

There are two paper-based examinations. A more detailed breakdown of the assessment details is provided below.
