5. Question: Are A2’s harder than AS’s?
The Advanced Subsidiary GCE is designed to be at the same level of demand as the first year of the Advanced GCE. The taught content for Papers 1 and 2 is identical but differentiation for these papers will be through assessment and awarding. Advanced GCE students will be expected to draw on a greater depth and range of content and evidence, and evaluate with more sophistication, demonstrating a deeper understanding of historical concepts, producing responses that are more analytical and judgements that are more effectively substantiated.
Short answer: Yes in terms of skills and the mark scheme, but the content is at the same level

6. Question: Are A2’s harder than AS’s?
Yes, in terms of sources: Tudor language and vocabulary is very different to ours and needs ‘unpicking’.
