02How it is examined

What a Rights and Freedoms question asks you to do

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Rights and Freedoms are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones History Year 10 uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Rights and Freedoms in the History Year 10 course

Rights and Freedoms is module 2 of 3 in History Year 10. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
