The performance component of the course involves you being assessed in two different activities. Both of these performances will be assessed on a 1-off basis: how you perform on the day determines your score. Each performance is assessed out of 30 marks. You will be assessed against the following criteria.
The exam component assesses you’re theoretical knowledge and understanding of course content. You will be required to build and expand your knowledge of the four factors from National 5.
Questions in the exam will evolve around how these factors can impact performance as well as the different ways they can be taken through the Cycle of Analysis.
