BTEC Level 3 Nationals inInformation Technology
First teaching September 2017
Sample Marked Learner Work
External Assessment
Unit 11: Cyber Security and Incident Management
,In preparation for the first teaching from September 2016 and as a part of the on-going
support that we offer to our centres, we have been developing support materials to help
you better understand the application of Nationals BTEC Level 3 qualification.
What is Sample Marked Learner Work (SMLW)?
The following learner work has been prepared as guidance for centres and learners. It
can be used as a helpful tool when teaching and preparing for external units.
Each question explores two responses; one good response, followed by a poor response.
These responses demonstrate how marks can be both attained and lost.
The SMLW includes examples of real learners’ work, accompanied with examiner tips and
comments based on the responses of how learners performed.
Below displays the format this booklet follows. Each question will show a learner
response, followed by comments on the command verbs and the content of the question.
Tips may be offered where possible.
The appendix has attached a mark scheme showing all the possible responses that
perhaps were not explored in the SMLW, but can still be attained.
The red box comments on the command verbs used in the question. Command
typically means; to instruct or order for something to be done. Likewise, in
assessments, learners are required to answer questions, with the help of a
command verb which gives them a sense of direction when answering a
question.
This box may choose to highlight the command verb used and comments if the
learner has successfully done this, or not.
The green box comments on the content words and phrases. Content makes
reference to subject knowledge that originates from the specification. Learners
are required to use subject specific knowledge to answer the questions in order
to gain maximum marks.
The comments may include:
Any key words/phrases used in the learner’s answer.
Why has the learner gained x amount of marks? And why/how have they
not gained any further marks?
Any suggestions/ ideas regarding the structure of the answer.
If the answer meets full marks- why it is a strong answer? What part of
the content has been mentioned to gain these marks?
Tips offer helpful hints that the learner may find useful. For
example:
Recommended length of the answer
Reference to the amount of marks awarded
General advice for the learner when answering questions
