This page is your briefing — not the task itself. The actual task is unseen and stays with your assessor until the day.
What to expect
The clock runs for the whole 30 minutes. There's no pause. Here's how it's split.
You will be observed while you work. This isn't unusual — it's simply how your assessor gathers evidence of your own independent process.
Rules for the day
The method
This checkpoint doesn't test a new skill. It times the same routine you've already practised across this section.
One part of this checkpoint is a gate: somewhere in the AI's output, something won't hold up to a check. Finding it and fixing it isn't a bonus mark — it's a requirement, on its own, separate from everything else you submit.
Evidence
Both versions matter. Submitting only your corrected copy, with no record of what the AI actually produced, is not complete evidence.
Calm before the clock
It's normal to feel a little nervous before a timed, observed task. Try this for a minute.
You're ready. Bring the same habits you've already practised. Read carefully, check honestly, and submit both versions.
