It is expected that candidates should 'own'their log booklet but some pages in the list below are for completion by the supervisor (sup) and one page is for completion by you as the centre coordinator (coord) . Pages 1-4 constitute the formal candidate record form as referenced in general AQA coursework submission instructions.  \n1 Candidate declaration  \n2 Submission checklist sup  \n3 Taught skills element sup  \n4 Record of marks sup  \n5 Record of initial ideas  \n6 Candidate proposal (Part A)  \n7 Candidate proposal (Part B) sup  \n8 Proposal approval (Part C) coord  \n9 Planning review  \n10 Mid-project review  \n11 Project planning review  \n12 Presentation record (Part A)  \n13 Presentation record (Part B) sup  \n14 Summary and reflection  \nThe candidate’s final submission should include all 14 pages firmly attached to the written report and any additional assessment evidence (specification  \n2.5.1 Assessment evidence) .  \nThe full booklet can be downloaded from the AQA website. Depending upon the circumstances in your centre you may choose to issue complete booklets atthe start or to issue appropriate sections to candidates/supervisors as required.  \nThe booklet is available in portable document format (.pdf) for best printing, distribution and completion in hard copy. Alternatively, a Microsoft Word version  \n( .doc) is available for use in a network or virtual learning environment (VLE) and/or electronic submission. If used for electronic submission it is acceptable for ‘electronic signatures’ to be used by supervisors on most pages (ie typed initials) but you are required to arrange for a copy/printout to be made of page 1, signed by candidates and stored  \ncarefully. It would be good assessment practice to treat page 4, pages 6-8 and page 13 in a similar manner.  \nPages 2-4 Submission checklist, Taught skills element and Record of marks  \nBefore supervisors make any assessment it is important that you have arranged appropriate assessment training for supervisors based on the material available from AQA and from AQA standardising meetings. Supervisors should then complete this page having made their assessment after complete submission of all remaining pages and the project product.  \nYou should provide appropriate centre deadlines for completion of this task.  \nYou should then arrange for appropriate internal standardising of marks before submission of the marks to AQA.  \nPage 5 Record of initial ideas  \nYou may wish to ask candidates to complete the first two sections on this page as part of an introduction to the project process and in order to aid your allocation of supervisors. If so, it is important that such allocation takes place relatively quickly so that candidates do not proceed too far without individual guidance from their supervisor.  \nAQA Education (AQA) is a registered charity (number 1073334) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (number 3644723). Our registered address is AQA, Devas Street, Manchester M15 6EX.  \n7993/TN  \nPages 6 and 7 Candidate proposal (Parts A and B)  \nThese pages form part of the required project approval process. You may wish to provide deadlines or ‘windows’ for completion of these pages by candidates and their supervisors.  \nIt is important to ensure that these pages are completed before substantive work is undertaken and that both supervisors and candidates understand the need for your formal approval before any major investment ","cbCaigT8yxnFF6kI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigT8yxnFF6kI","pdf",237349,"English","# Introduction\n# Candidate record booklet structure (14 pages)\n## Candidate declaration and submission checklist (pages 1-4)\n## Record of initial ideas (page 5)\n## Candidate proposal parts and approval (pages 6-8)\n# Supervisor assessment preparation and standardisation\n## Assessment training and centre deadlines\n## Internal standardising of marks\n# Project approval checklist and learning outcomes\n## Working title and proposed action checks","[{\"question\":\"How many pages are in the candidate record booklet, and who completes them?\",\"answer\":\"The booklet is presented as a one 14-page booklet.
