Stretch and Challenge
• Stretch and Challenge is a new QCA initiative for A Levels:• Included in A2 assessment• Reflected in the style of question asked which invite a greater variety of thinking• Questions are structured to show more connections between different sections of
the specification• Extended writing is encouraged in all subjects (except Maths0• A wider range of question types – like case studies and open ended questions• More synoptic assessments – exploring connections between different areas and
levels of a subject
