There are lots of small tasks to do. How long are the answers supposed to be?

This question is really about level of detail. How much should you write? First, remember the point made in the podcast. These tasks are an opportunity for you to show what you know and understand. You need, therefore, to include enough to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding to your tutor/assessor.

John Birks, Senior Qualifications Manager at Edexcel, tells us in the podcast that you need to be concise. This means deciding what the answer is, including enough detail to make sure that you really have covered everything asked for, and then saying it as clearly and simply as possible. If you find that you are repeating yourself, eg by saying the same thing but in a different way, stop!

As an example, Unit 1, Outcome 1, Task 1 says:

'In your own words, choose and describe one piece of legislation, one directive and one procedure designed to keep spectators, competitors and/or performers safe at events.'

When you have chosen examples that relate to your event or case study, you should explain your choices. Then you should write one paragraph on each to show (a) that you know something about their content and (b) you understand how they keep people safe.

And that's all that's required. You're ready to move on.
