How does this compare with the real R093 paper?

The real exam is 1 hour 30 minutes and 70 marks. Section A has 7 to 10 short questions worth 10 marks, with at least one from each topic area. Section B is worth 60 marks and follows one scenario through the paper, with short questions and three extended answers marked in levels. This mini-mock keeps that order and mix at half the length: a full 10-mark Section A, then 25 marks of Section B.

Scenario: Sizzle Street Food campaign

Sizzle is a street food van serving loaded fries at markets and festivals around one city. The owner wants a social media campaign with daily location posts, short sizzling-food videos, and a loyalty card promotion. Most customers are 16-30 and find the van through social media.

    Suggest a sensible target audience for Sizzle's social campaign, using two segmentation categories.

  2. Question 10 · Short answer[2 marks]

    The videos feature close-up sizzling sounds. Explain why this audio choice is effective for a food van's campaign.

  3. Question 11 · Short answer[2 marks]

  4. Question 12 · Short answer[2 marks]

    The owner wants to reuse a trending song from another creator's video in Sizzle's advert posts. Explain the copyright position.

  5. Question 13 · Short answer[2 marks]

    Sizzle's logo will be printed as a large vinyl wrap on the van. Which image type must the logo artwork be, and why?

  6. Question 14 · Build a visualisation diagram[6 marks]

    Create a visualisation diagram for Sizzle's printed loyalty card (landscape, credit-card sized).

    The brief

    Plan the card layout: brand name/logo, stamp spaces, the offer, and social handle. Add colour/font notes and annotate your placement choices.

    This is an interactive question: you build the visualisation diagram in the browser and it is marked against OCR's levels in seconds, with feedback on what held the mark back. Pupils answer it through their school's SubjectHub account; teachers can try it, and set it to a class, with a free 7-day school trial.
