seeded questions
in OT sections for
quality assurance
and security

How seeded content is used to ensure quality and security
• To balance future
exams ensuring equal
difficulty.
• To more accurately
and reliably determine
results.
• To closely monitor
security.

Seeded content – essentials

of exam content:
100 marks contributing to the
student result and 10 marks of
seeded content that don’t.
• The 10 marks of seeded
questions with either be 5 OT
questions or 1 OT Case (5 OT
questions make up 1 OT Case).

Spreadsheet: never use a calculator!
• In paper exams, you are often required to do a lot
of calculations using a calculator
• Doing calculations on a calculator is a very menial
task requiring a lot of attention to avoid any
mistakes in inputs or copying outputs.
• In a spreadsheet, you should always apply
formulae for calculations
• Copy/ paste them for repetitive calculations
• This will save you time and allow you to focus on
analysing the scenario, instead of being occupied
with calculations

Spreadsheet: copy and pasting parts of an answer
• In case of repetitive calculations, you can easily
copy and paste part of an answer
• When you copy and paste part of an answer, you
only need to update figures; the structure and
formatting remains the same
• This can result in significant time savings.
• If you use this technique, you may be able to
complete your answer in even less than half of the
allocated time in paper exam.

Spreadsheet: Editing is convenient if numbers are interlinked
• Please do not copy/ paste values or type values from
workings, as it is will make editing difficult.
• Make sure that your main answer is linked to workings.
• If there is any interdependency within workings, make
sure to link them as well.
WHY DO WE NEED TO LINK
• In case of any subsequent editing, all linked figures will
be automatically updated, saving a lot of time
• If you have done proper linking, there is no need to give
references.

Spreadsheet: show workings within a cell
• In paper exams, you are often required to do show
the calculations before you produce the outcome of
those calculations
• For example, if you are calculating WACC in paper
F9, you will first show the working and then the
final number
• In a spreadsheet, you do not need to separately
show the working if you have directly done the
calculation in the cell
• Calculations within cells will be visible to the
examiner

CR questions: Planning and editing your answer
• In paper exams, most of the answer planning and
structuring happens in the head or scratch paper
• Session CBEs allow you to jot down key points and
then expand them to produce a well-structured
answer
• No more crossing out or arrows! It’s easy to edit
your answers whilst still keeping your answers
presentable.

but the system won’t stop students from selecting more answers
than this.
• It’s important to read the question carefully because the
Navigator and Item Review screens will show these questions as
complete even if you have not provided a full answer.

OT question – drag and drop
• Drag and drop questions involve students dragging an answer and
dropping it into place.
• Some questions could involve matching more than one answer
to a response area and some questions may have more answer
choices than response areas, which means not all available
answer choices need to be used.

on an image as their answer. When the cursor is hovered over the
image, it will display as an “X”.
• To answer, place the X on the appropriate point on the diagram.
The image will have been set so that as long as part of the X is
touching the line that represents the correct answer, it will be
marked correct, but not if it is also touching another possible
answer.
