Thereport is designed to help you understand how learners performed overall in the exam. For each question there is a brief analysis of learner responses. You will also find example learner responses from Level 3 Pass, Merit and Distinction learners. |\n\nThe Lead Examiner reports for the January 2025 series are now available on  our website.  \nWe now have seven Lead Examiner reports for each unit. In addition to the feedback specifically related to the understanding of the unit content, there are a number of recurring exam technique themes addressed within the reports that we thought would be useful to pull out here to help you prepare your learners for future examination series.  \n| Exam Technique: Top Tips |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| • Learners should read each question thoroughly to ensure they are aware of what is being asked of them. E.g. does the question relate to an individual or an organisation?\u003Cbr>• Check the marks available for each question. Ensure that responses are sufficiently detailed to meet the level of demand. E.g. a 3-mark question requires an identification, an explanation and a further expansion to receive all three marks.\u003Cbr>• Study the command words and be familiar with their expectations. See the 'Keywords typically used in assessment' section for more information.\u003Cbr>• An answer that gives the same example given in the question scenario will not gain marks.\u003Cbr>• Avoid repeating information from the question in the answer.\u003Cbr>• Plan out longer answers. | •\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>• | For 6-, 9-and 12-mark questions, answers which do not refer to the scenario will be limited to mark band 1.\u003Cbr>Questions that ask the learner to apply a theory require the findings of the theory to be linked to the context of the scenario. Where a question asks for a specific theory, be sure to include that theory.\u003Cbr>Make sure to attempt every question, even if unsure of the answer. Partial answers can still earn marks.\u003Cbr>Do not give duplicate answers. Where a question requires learners to outline/ describe/ explain two things they need tobe different examples to get the maximum marks available.\u003Cbr>Clearly cross out any work learners do not want examinersto mark and be aware of the rules regarding replacing answers. If learners replace a crossed-out answer with a new response, the markers can only mark the new response. |\n\nSubject Knowledge: Top Tips  \n• Be aware of the groupings of uniformed and non-uniformed protective services in the specification:  \no Uniformed Statutory Protective Services:  \n▪ Emergency Services: police, fire and rescue services  \n▪ Armed services: Army, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy (including Royal Marines)  \n▪ Custodial Care – HM Prison Service  \n▪ Other supporting statutory protective services e.g. UK Visasand Immigration, NHS, ambulance service, Highways England, Maritime and Coastguard Agency  \no Non-uniformed statutory services:  \n▪ Local authorities  \n▪ Central government  \n▪ Supporting uniformed non-statutory protective services – Reserves, Special Constabulary  \n• Be aware that all elements of the specification will be assessed during the lifetime of the qualification.  \n• Ensure that learners have thorough knowledge of unit content and key terms contained within the specification.  \n• Ensure learners understand the purpose of the protective services (why they exist); their roles (what they do) and responsibilities (why they do it) .  \n• Review the specification to ensure that all key areas have been revised.  \nSources of Information  \nPast Papers  \n• For each series, the following are published on the External Assessments t","cbCaipRqxkDWEWqj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipRqxkDWEWqj","pdf",144628,"English","# Exam Technique: Top Tips\n# Subject Knowledge: Top Tips\n# Sources of Information\n## Past Papers\n## examWizard\n## Teaching and learning materials\n## On-demand Training Videos\n# Key words typically used in assessment","[{\"question\":\"How should learners approach each exam question to maximize marks?\",\"answer\":\"Learners should read each question thoroughly, check the marks and demand level, and understand the command words.
