Structured Questions

The structured questions test knowledge and understanding of the AS Level subject content.

Candidates are also asked to demonstrate their communication skills using sketches and notes and a range of graphical techniques, including conventions and specialist vocabulary.

The structured questions can also ask candidates to use sketches and notes and to apply the knowledge and understanding they have acquired to a particular product, scenario or context. Candidates should be able to apply their knowledge and understanding to an unfamiliar product, scenario or context. Knowledge of the context is not required.

The structured questions can be divided into part-questions based on the same product, scenario or context. Candidates must answer all the part-questions for each question. Candidates should be aware of the marks for each part-question. These are printed on the question paper. Candidates should use them as a guide to the amount of detail and length of response expected and to help them manage their time effectively.
