- 2. 2 INFORMATION TO TEACHERS The controlled eight-hour test can be scheduled at any time provided it is completed by 30 April for the June series and 31 October for the November series. During the preparatory period, candidates are required to produce their supporting studies in response to one question. They must bring this work to the start of the controlled eight-hour test and these supporting studies must remain with the controlled test work under secure conditions. Candidates cannot submit supporting studies after the start of the first session and they should not produce additional supporting studies during the controlled eight-hour test. From the work produced during the preparatory period, candidates are expected to select and organise which pieces of their supporting studies they want to submit in order to support the controlled eight-hour test. Any work that they do not wish to submit should be clearly labelled as not to be submitted and this work should be retained under secure conditions until after the end of the Enquiries about Results period. For additional guidance, you should refer to A Guide to Administering Art and Design and the Cambridge Handbook. INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES You may seek initial guidance regarding the selection of question and appropriate choice of materials and processes at the start of the preparatory period from your teacher. You are advised to research and investigate your ideas from first-hand studies of primary sources. What are first-hand studies? First-hand studies can be carried out in a variety of methods, either by sketching a building, drawing a horse or apple or by taking a photograph of it. It should be your record and it should be made or produced directly from the primary source. What is a primary source? A primary source is the actual item, object, building, person, or so on. If the question asks you to produce a response to the starting point Dried flowers or seed pods, and you look in a book or use an internet search engine, then this is secondary source material. If you gather together some actual dried flowers and real seed pods and analyse them directly, this is classed as primary source material. Your supporting studies and your controlled eight-hour test work will be assessed out of a total of 100 marks. During the preparatory period, you should prepare for the controlled eight-hour test by researching and developing your ideas, attempting alternative outcomes and producing supporting studies to enable you to produce a response to one of the questions from this paper. You are reminded that the supporting studies and the controlled eight-hour test work are marked together against all the assessment objectives. Assessment Objective AO1 is concerned with gathering, recording and research and investigation, and Assessment Objective AO2 is concerned with exploration and development of ideas. You should take this into account when preparing your supporting studies. You must take these supporting studies with you on the first day of the controlled eight-hour test. Your supporting studies will then remain at the Centre while you complete the test. At the end of the controlled eight-hour test, you will be expected to edit your supporting studies and present them on no more than two sheets of A2 paper.
