02How it is examined

What a Emerging Technologies and Ethics question asks you to do

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Emerging Technologies and Ethics are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Information and Software Technology uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits
