Understanding the assessment objectives

AQA

Ross Howitt explores the structure of the new AQA AS examination, bringing meaning to the assessment objectives and question types

In the past, students tended to know that they had a lot to remember and would have to link their knowledge to some sporting examples. The new assessment objectives make some slight changes to this, which you need to understand.

There are four assessment objectives (AOs), each with their own unique requirements. Assessment objective 4 deals with the practical (non-exam) component, which involves performance or coaching of an activity and the completion of an analysis and evaluation task. This article focuses on assessment objectives 1, 2 and 3, which relate directly to the examination.
