Exam-style question
Try this first
Which sequence correctly describes the process for a project task that is not of A-level standard?.
- A.Ignore the criteria, then award marks using personal judgement
- B.Apply the criteria, then adjust the relevant award downwards as specified
- C.Adjust the technical solution first, then assess all other sections normally
- D.Award the highest level first and reduce it only if the project is incomplete
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Apply the criteria, then adjust the relevant award downwards as specified.
Explanation
Why this works
The standard should first be taken into account by directly applying the criteria. For a task below A-level standard, the resulting award is then shifted down by two levels in the relevant sections, with evaluation reduced by two marks and the technical solution excluded from the adjustment.
