Package 2 • Combined assessment – supports a combined approach to assessment which can be effective for gathering evidence across a number of Units of a Course Package 3 • Portfolio – supports a portfolio approach by providing information on judging evidence for assessment covering all Outcomes and Assessment Standards for all the Units in a Course Mathematics National 4 and 5 Package 1 • Is achieved if correct in at least half of the main points of process and accuracy during assessment of all the sub-skills. Mathematics National 4 and 5 Package 2 • The Assessment Standard will be met when the candidate has successfully demonstrated competence in at least half of the sub-skills. • A sub-skill has been successfully demonstrated when more than half the points of process and accuracy have been met for that sub-skill. Mathematics National 4 and 5 Pack 3 • The Assessment Standard will be met when the candidate has successfully demonstrated competence in at least half of the sub-skills or • is correct in at least half of the points of process and accuracy during assessment of all the sub-skills. • A sub-skill has been successfully demonstrated when more than half the points of process and accuracy have been met for that sub-skill. Mathematics National 4 and 5 • #2.1/ 2.2 for all packs • This Assessment Standard should be achieved on at least one occasion. Lifeskills Mathematics National 4 and 5 • at least half of the strategy/ process ( if process is applicable) opportunities available in the specific assessment guidelines. AND • in at least half of the communication opportunities available in the specific assessment guidelines. National 4 Added Value Unit Mathematics • Reasoning skills These must be demonstrated in at least half of the reasoning opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines. • Operational skills These must be applied accurately in at least half of the points of process and accuracy identified in the specific assessment guidelines. Added Value Unit Lifeskills Mathematics • Reasoning skills These must be demonstrated in at least half of the reasoning opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines across the test as a whole. • Operational skills Processes must be carried through accurately in at least half of the operational opportunities identified in the specific assessment guidelines across the test as a whole. Verification Process 2013/14 • Three rounds – 4 events in each. • Personnel - PV or STL - Nominees • Report • Record Verification Outcome Record Key Messages from Round 1 • Assessment Approaches - Mathematics - Lifeskills Mathematics - Numeracy • Reassessments - Mathematics - Lifeskills Mathematics - Numeracy Key Messages from Round 1 • Assessment Judgements • General Comments • Link to Mathematics page, Key Messages can be found on the subject level pages. • http://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/45750.html Other Support • • • • • Common questions Exemplification from verification Prior verified materials Solar Bank of #2.1 and 2.2 questions Solar Results 1.
