Assessment

External Assessment We’re working with subject experts to make sure that for externally assessed units we create assessment solutions that retain the vocational nature of the qualification and be relevant for the sector. External assessment across the Cambridge Technicals suite could involve written examinations including case studies, pre-release materials, controlled projects or tasks, or computer based tests relating to the subject which students will need to apply their knowledge and understanding to. More information about each units external assessment can be found in the qualification Centre Handbook. External assessment will be set and marked by us; there will be two opportunities for your students to take them, in January and June, so you can decide when they are ready to take their assessment. Sample Assessment Materials We have produced Sample Assessment Materials for each externally assessed unit. This will provide you with an idea of the type of assessment for each unit and give the opportunity for your students to practice. Combined Past Paper This resource is a combination of: • Past Paper • Mark Scheme • Examiner Comments Following each exam series, we’ll produce a Combined Past Paper so you can see the paper, alongside the mark scheme and examiner comments to demonstrate how students responded and where improvements could have been made
