The scenario

Paws Haven adoption drive

Paws Haven is an animal shelter running a campaign to increase pet adoptions and attract volunteers. It needs a series of social media posts featuring its animals, a printed poster for local vets and shops, and a 60-second video telling one rescue dog's story. The tone should be hopeful, not sad.

The task

Paws Haven's volunteer coordinator has started a digital mind map of ideas for the adoption drive. The marketing assistant will use it to plan the campaign, but the map is muddled: some ideas sit under the wrong branch, one branch is empty, one branch is not about the adoption drive, one idea is a whole sentence and three labels are not connected.

Improve the effectiveness of the mind map for use by the marketing assistant. 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 marketing assistant in their role.

[9 marks]

What it is marked on

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?
