Assessment

A Level Statistics consists of three externally-examined papers at the end of Year 2. These are of equal size and weighting: one paper assessing data and probability, another on statistical inference, and a third paper assessing the specification as a whole. Calculators with necessary statistical functions are required for all examinations. Throughout the course, we will assess you using formal examinations and mini-tests. At the end of Year 1, you will sit internally-assessed examinations to check your progress. From summer 2021 onwards, there will be no AS level examinations for this subject.
