Guidelines
Assessment in S3 will build on the assessment styles from previous years but will gradually focus exclusively on the skills required to complete the oral exam. To the left you can see the official guidelines produced for students sitting the oral exam in English. As you know, you will be given two themes to consider in the oral. Importantly, one of those themes will definitely be focused on one of the six themes that are marked by a cross. Clearly, these should be considered priority topics for revision. I have included the (vague) outlines from the official syllabus at the start of each of my 13 Matu units of study. You can download and view the official syllabus here. |
Revision and practice orals January 2023.
You will be offered the opportunity to have at least two practice orals. The first will test Cold War and one additional subject, the second will test decolonisation and one other topic. You can book your orals below. Once everyone has had an opportunity to book their orals you can book additional practice if you wish.
