It's different.. in history, we do topics that are all linked into eachother. For example, we did the American West and did about cowboys, gold rush, Billy the Kid, stuff like that and did an exam on that. In medicine, we do surgery, diseases and doctors and stuff and do an exam on that.
In things like maths, we do a whole year of work and do exams at the end of the year. I've not got long left and it's scary, lol.
