Guidance on choosing student samples for moderation in this component.

Our centre marks submission system on Centre Services does not automatically select student samples for this component. You must select your own sample of students and send recordings of their presentations to the allocated moderator.

The sample size is 10 students with a Pass grade for each level.

10 students or fewer for a level

If you have 10 students or fewer you should submit all of your students’ recordings (both Pass and Fail) for that level.

Fewer than 10 students at Pass for a level

If you have fewer than 10 students with a Pass grade for a level, submit all the Pass recordings you have and include additional Fail recordings to make the total sample up to 10 students.

Examples

• If you submit a total of 20 grades for Level 1, made up of 18 Pass grades and 2 Fail grades, you would include 10 Pass recordings in your Level 1 sample.
• If you submit a total of 7 grades for Level 1, made up of 3 Pass grades and 4 Fail grades, you would include all 7 recordings in your Level 1 sample.
• If you submit a total of 13 grades for Level 1, made up of 7 Pass grades and 6 Fail grades, you would include 7 Pass and 3 Fail recordings in your Level 1 sample.
