Assessment Report

Standard 93010
Part A: Commentary
Candidates must be mindful that Question Two follows on from Question One.
Candidates who wish to synthesise information from the listening to the written, must take notes accurately in order to refer back to them. Students who unravelled the essentials of the questions and plan a quick draft tended to achieve more highly. Candidates who were able to allude to own knowledge around the topic ‘malu o aiga’ were able to connect ideas strongly.
