E-Candidate Record Sheets (eCRS) and online E-Standardisation
The online E-Standardisation completed by all centres was excellent.
All centres provided very good annotation on the Electronic Candidate Record Sheets (eCRS). It is important that all centres provide annotation to justify their marking and internal standardisation. Good annotation also speeds up moderation of unit 3 CAD. Candidate Record Sheets must remain in the centre for unit 2 (craft project) and they must be made available during visiting moderation.
Unit 2 Craft Project
Generally internal standardisation was completed well by the centres.
Only two centres were adjusted for this section of controlled assessment and one of these was a positive adjustment.
Unit 3. Computer Aided Design
There was a number of scaling issues throughout the samples provided by the centres. All drawings that are required in this controlled assessment area have an attached scale. On a few occasions the scale that was stated on the title block did not match the drawing that was completed. As a result candidates lost marks.
On a small number of occasions centres printed the candidates work in colour. This made it difficult for the moderators to see any details in the drawings. The moderation team would encourage the use of black and white A3 prints only for candidates work. Also a small number of centres were printing drawings from screen captures, As it was difficult to moderate, see the quality & detail of the work and the drawings were not printed to the required scale, it is not accepted as completed work.
Areas in which candidates lost marks:
Scaling of drawings
Trimming issues
Lack of dimensions
Inappropriate chimney sizes and chimney positions
Unsuitable hatching of the roof section or incorrect window and door openings.
No steps or ramp present on drawings. No stairs or fireplaces on plan view.
Front view not symmetrical due to the position of doors, windows and chimneys.
7 Centres were adjusted
