 * ====Domain ==== || Drama Studies ||
 * ====Mode of Assessment ==== || Written Examination ||
 * ====Standards ==== || [|91215] [|91219] ||
 * || Updated March 2016 ||

Format of the assessment common to both standards
Candidates will be required to name and provide details of the drama/theatre form or the live performances. Candidates may be required to respond in any combination of written response (paragraphs and/or bullet points) and illustration (sketches and/or diagrams). Diagrams or sketches will be assessed on the quality of information conveyed and not their artistic merit (i.e. simple stick figures are satisfactory). Candidates must label their diagrams or sketches to indicate features that may not be clear. Candidates may use coloured pencils or coloured pens for sketches, but this is not required. Any response in pencil cannot be reconsidered.
