They are required to demonstrate key skills such as making inferences; comparing sources; assessing reliability. There are a wide range of written; pictoral and photographic evidence to evaluate on the papers testing all of their skills as well as written sources. They are accompanied with mark schemes and guidance on performance. I use these tests to inform planning and differentiation for the year.
