This is a unitised specification. Students have the opportunity to sit one unit in the first year of teaching.

Our revised GCSE in Motor Vehicle and Road User Studies is available at two tiers of entry: Foundation Tier and Higher Tier. Students entered for the Foundation Tier are eligible for the award of grades C–G. Students entered for the Higher Tier are eligible for the award of grades A*–D, with A* being the highest.

The following six sections detail the motor vehicle and road user theory that students are assessed on in their external written exam (Unit 1).

  • Vehicle Control and Road User Behaviour;
  • Legal Requirements;
  • Road Transport and its Effect on Society;
  • Motoring Mathematics;
  • Accident Procedures; and
  • Motor Vehicle Technology.

Units 2 and 3 are controlled assessment tasks.
