The scenario

Starling Press: Nightglass graphic-novel launch

Starling Press is a small independent publisher. It is launching 'Nightglass', a mystery graphic novel for readers aged 11 to 16, in two editions: a printed book and a digital edition that readers buy and read online. The launch will take place at a comic convention, supported by a launch website where readers can read a free preview chapter and pre-order the book.

The task

Starling Press's marketing assistant has started a digital mind map of what the Nightglass launch website needs. The web developer will use it to plan the pages, but the map is muddled: one idea sits under the wrong branch, one branch is empty, one idea is a whole sentence, one branch is not about the website and three labels are not connected.

Improve the effectiveness of the mind map for use by the web developer. Marks will be awarded for: relevant components and conventions used (central node, branches, sub-nodes and the links between them); logical grouping of related ideas; annotations that explain how the improvements help the web developer in their role.

[9 marks]

What it is marked on

  • A named central node with main branches for each part of the brief
  • Branches developed with sub-ideas, and related ideas grouped together
  • Ideas that suit this client and brief

The marks fall in OCR's three levels. How R093 is marked explains them.

Questions

Is this the real exam?

No. It is a practice question in the style of OCR's R093 paper: a client scenario, a document for a named user, and an extended answer marked by three levels. SubjectHub wrote it from the specification and the published mark schemes; the real papers are set by OCR.

How is it marked?

Straight away and for free, code counts the structure: a named central node, the main branches against what the task asks for, branches developed with sub-ideas, and your notes. With a free account you also get the full mark: each idea and note is judged against the brief and OCR's three levels, and you get a mark, the level, feedback and one next step.

Do I need an account?

No, not to try it: answer it here and get the free check. For the full mark and examiner-style feedback, create a free account. Sign-up opens in a new tab, so your answer stays on this page, and it is kept in this browser if you come back later. Signed-in users get 10 full marks a day.
