Your work will be assessed by your subject teachers and will be standardised (checked) by the Head for Department. An AQA moderator will visit the department and review the work and the marks – the moderator can change the marks up or down. It is also worth noting that the grade boundaries can change each year and are decided once moderation has taken place.

The following work will be assessed:

Component 1 Personal Investigation (60%): Mark out of 96

Component 2 Externally Set Assignment (40%): Mark out of 96

Each component is assessed using the following four assessment objectives.

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

 AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
