It has been written by our Principal Examiners and Principal Moderators after the completion of marking and moderation, and details how candidates have performed in each unit.  \nThis report opens with a summary of candidates’ performance, including the assessment objectives/skills/topics/themes being tested, and highlights the characteristics of successful performance and where performance could be improved. It then looks in detail at each unit, pinpointing aspects that proved challenging to some candidates and suggesting some reasons as to why that might be.1  \nThe information found in this report provides valuable insight for practitioners to support their teaching and learning activity. We would also encourage practitioners to share this document – in its entirety or in part – with their learners to help with exam preparation, to understand how to avoid pitfalls and to add to their revision toolbox.  \nFurther support  \n\n| Document | Description | Link |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Professional Learning / CPD | WJEC offers an extensive programme of online and face-to-face Professional Learning events.

UMS grade boundaries are published at overall subject and unit level.\u003Cbr>For linear specifications, a single grade is awarded for the subject, rather than for each unit that contributes towards the overall grade. Grade boundaries are published on results day. | For unitised specifications click here: Results, Grade Boundaries and PRS ([wjec.co.uk](wjec.co.uk)) |\n\n1 Please note that where overall performance on a question/question part was considered good, with no particular areas to highlight, these questions have not been included in the report.  \n\n| Exam Results Analysis | WJEC provides information to examination centres via the WJEC Portal.
