Modelling exam

A short set of course notes is available for students to use in preparation for the Modelling exam (Subject CA2). The notes include sections covering:

• principles required for analysing data, developing a model, creating an audit trail and presenting results
• advice on using software
• a detailed worked example with exam technique tips and a sample marking schedule
• the syllabus and Core Reading
• aims and assessment criteria, further reading and useful checklists.

The notes are similar in length to the Subject CA3 notes and come spiral-bound.

You may also like to use one of ActEd's Marked Assignment Projects to help you prepare for the CA2 course.

For more information about the Modelling exam, including practice projects, please visit the Profession's website.

Data file for the Worked Example (download)

We have presented a Worked Example in Section 10 of the Course Notes. This section includes the instructions for the project and a full analysis of a solution produced by a student attempting it under exam conditions.

If you want to try this project yourself "hands-on", rather than just reading through the student's solution we've presented, you can download a spreadsheet containing the data.
