Year 11 Exam Information

Year 11 Unit 2 Exams

Mon 14 Nov - Mon 21 Nov

The purpose of having Exams in Year 11 is:

1. To provide a framework for students to demonstrate knowledge and skills learnt over an extended period of time, i.e., Unit 2.

2. To provide opportunities for students to experience a structured exam timetable.

3. To provide students with the experience of sitting a formal exam in a large group, under the supervision of someone other than their normal class teacher.

4. To create an opportunity for students to complete set tasks within a set time constraint.

5. To replicate the format and experience of the exams that they will complete in Unit 3 & 4.
