Exam-style question
Try this first
A project task is judged to be below A-level standard. A student's documented design fully or nearly fully articulates how the solution is structured. What outcome is described by the specification example?.
- A.It receives Level Four, worth 10-12 marks
- B.It receives Level Two, worth 4-6 marks
- C.It receives no mark because the task is invalid
- D.It receives the same level as an A-level standard task
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- It receives Level Two, worth 4-6 marks.
Explanation
Why this works
The specification states that the same documented-design performance would normally achieve Level Four, worth 10-12 marks, for an A-level standard project. If the selected problem is too simple, the award is shifted down by two levels into Level Two, worth 4-6 marks.
