Answering Questions
All the questions are assessment-based, there is not a word count but as this is a level 2 qualification you need to ensure that you have answered each question sufficiently with the correct references attached to each question.
Word Counts
There is no word count on the assessments. We would recommend looking at the command verb which is being used in the question to understand what you are being asked. You can find further information on the command verbs in your Learner Handbook.
Marking
Don’t worry, you can’t fail an assessment. Instead, when your work is marked you will either be given a ‘Pass Subject to Moderation’ or ‘Resubmission’. If the tutor feels that your work has not quite met the learning criteria, they will return this to you with feedback and you will have 7 days to return this to us.
'Subject to Moderation' meaning
We select a small portion of assessments for moderation which is a process to check the quality of marking and feedback. A moderator has the right to overturn an assessment decision.
Timings
The assessments aren't timed. There are submission dates that you need to work towards, but you are able to spend as much time as you need to on your assessments before you submit them.
Viewing Feedback in EQUAL
You can view your feedback by clicking on ‘Assessment’ and then ‘Review’. There will also be a link to view your feedback in the email which you have been sent to notify you that it is available.
