Communication from you
In 2013, the process was very structured and publicised the exact marks for each component. This led to significant stress for applicants trying to achieve maximum marks rather than reporting actual facts in some cases.
We are not disclosing the marking plan as this created unnecessary stress and creative reporting of activities in the 2013 evidence based CV
