Explain how an assessor should choose between Levels 1, 2 and 3 when judging techniques used. Include the role of demonstrated proficiency and explain how the exact mark within a band is selected.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The assessor should first select the level whose demand best matches the techniques and skill the student's program actually demonstrates.
- Level 3 corresponds to appropriate techniques equivalent to Group A and demonstrated proficiency, Level 2 corresponds to Group B, and Level 1 corresponds to Group C.
- The decision must be based on what has been achieved rather than what the student intended to use.
- If proficiency is not demonstrated at the initially selected level, the assessor should drop to the next lower level and continue checking until a suitable match is found.
Explanation
Why this works
This answer covers the progression through the three levels, the requirement for demonstrated proficiency, the instruction to move down a level when necessary and the three factors used to choose the precise mark.
