AQA Functional Skills ICT Level 1 Past Papers
AQA Functional Skills ICT Level 1 past papers are generally split into four activities. There are no data sheets to supplement the exam paper, as most of the information you need is presented as part of the exam paper. In each paper there will be one activity out of the four that requires use of AQA’s online portal. This portal simulates an email inbox, which you will be asked to take actions with as well as get information from. Work done for the exam on the computer is submitted in the form of a number of printouts, with each exam paper making it clear what must be submitted.
The 2 hour long AQA Level 1 Functional Skills ICT exam assesses candidates on three key skills:
- Using ICT
- Finding and Selecting Information
- Developing, Presenting and Communicating Information
Developing, presenting and communicating information is a more substantial part of the assessment than both using ICT and finding and selecting information. There are 80 marks in total available in this exam.
