Contextualising Entry Level Assessments:
- Entry Level Functional Skills assessments can be printed no earlier than 2 weeks before the live assessment is due to take place to allow time for contextualisation.
- A range of live papers with different topics are available, and the assessor may view them to choose one which is best for their learner(s).
- Assessors need access to the Guidance for Assessors document and the controlled assessment tests to decide whether contextualisation is needed.
- Please note: Exams Officer must be present at all times when assessors are handling the papers.
