We start on the compulsory units as half the overall marks from unit 1 fitness exam and unit 2 practical, make the maximum overall score that the students can achieve. It is essential the students achieve a merit in the fitness exam to allow them access to the top grades. Year 9 with start with the fitness and personal training units as these can support the embedding of the knowledge. We will review their progress and decide whether to put them into the exam in year 9 or at the start of year 10. This is an actual exam and worth 25% of their final grade. They will not have any other exams after this point, only coursework. This will help relieve the pressure.
