What is know how it is assessed?Show answer
Spoken language is assessed internally by your school, not by an external exam, and is graded Achieved or Not Achieved. It does not add to the A to D grade, but you must achieve it to gain the course award. Knowing it is pass or fail against fixed criteria changes how you prepare: the goal is to satisfy each criterion clearly, leaving no doubt that you have met the standard.
