A similar format is to be welcomes - that's why
Specimens and Marking Guidelines are issued/sold in
the first place.
Examiners advise us to advise pupils to develop
evaluative skills - and at all times be relevant .
"Answer the question set, not one you wished appeared"
is an oft repeated mantra - hence my concerns.
It is one thing to have a format that in the Specimen
details stock control and just in time for ice lollies
and then in the real thing asks again about just in
time again though!
There are bound to be papers in the future that in no
way resemble the Specimen in terms of content - why
couldn't those questions be asked now?
