Foundation Tier, Paper 1 (Irish-Medium) (From previous specification)
(PDF), Last Updated: 17 December 2007
Students must complete two examinations for GCSE History: Unit 1 and Unit 2. We set and mark the exams. They are available in summer only. The first examination for Unit 1 will be in summer 2010. Unit 2 can only be taken terminally.
The exams are available at Foundation and Higher Tier. The questions in both tiers cover the same content but vary in type. Foundation Tier exams include short-answer and structured questions. Higher Tier exams include short-answer questions and questions requiring extended writing.
