OUTCOME 1
Support and feedback

2. Common errors 'not needed' – ensure you are answering the question
Terminology – factor / sub-factor
Mark at Higher level comes from the IMPACT on performance (see example)

3. EXAMPLE : Method : Bleep test Explanation for using this method …….
It is cost effective (1 mark at NAT 4 level)
It is cost effective as you only need two marker cones and a CD player to run the test and these are relatively inexpensive (1 mark at NAT 5 level)
It is cost effective as you only need two marker cones and a CD player to run the test and these are relatively inexpensive. Therefore this allows me to perform the test numerous times before, during and at the end of my training programme allowing me to monitor my progress effectively and make adaptions to my training to improve my programme of work (1 mark at HIGHER level).

4. BACK IT UP WITH IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE
MAKE A POINT +
BACK IT UP WITH IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE =
1 MARK

5. Outcome 1.1 COST EFFECTIVE ACCURACY SIMPLICITY FACTUAL
Analyse why you used two different methods to identify factors impacting on performance. (4 marks)
No need to describe the method. Summarising is ok.
The key is understanding exactly WHY you used each method.
COST EFFECTIVE
ACCURACY
SIMPLICITY
FACTUAL
PERMANENT RECORD
SPECIFIC
RELEVANT

6. Outcome 1.2
Evaluate the impact of one positive and one negative factor on performance. (4 marks)
No need to describe the factor in great detail.
Numerous sub-factors can be discussed.
Make a statement – "happiness allows you to be in the ideal performance state" – and then support with an example of what you mean.
No IMPACT, no mark.
MUST state factor and not just sub-factor
Factors must be different.

7. Outcome 1.3 EASE OF USE SIMPLICITY TARGETS RELIABILITY SPECIFIC
Eplain two approaches to develop performance based on the factors mentioned in 1.2. (4 marks)
No need to describe the approach in great detail.
'Approaches to development' are simply any methods you use to improve a factor.
DON'T simply say that this method will improve factor.
Why did you choose this specific approach?
