Public sector unit sample papers
A sample question paper has been produced for each public sector unit to give candidates an indication of the expected structure, style and content of question papers for the examinations.
A corresponding answer guidance has been produced to give candidates an indication of how to answer the questions, including guidance relating to examination technique.
For each of the Level 6 public sector optional units, the senior assessor has produced some notes to compliment the question paper and answer guidance.
