Paper #10, W43 (lang 13 / lit 9 / cs 14, 45 min). Warm-up run before the link this time: three quotations with a suggestion each on a tiny text, done in 9 min, all three valid, none with a reader effect. Started 14:42, closed by her at 36 min with 9 unused. Answered Q1-Q12 in order. Sections: Lang 7/13 in 11 min (guide 14), 0 blank; Lit on the portal 1/9 in 3 min (guide 10), Q5 and Q6 blank and flagged, never returned to; CS on the portal 5/14 in 11 min (guide 16), Q12 'j' after 1 min. No time hog: no question over its guide. At 15:25 she reported Q5, Q6 and Q12 'glitched' and typed them in this chat (Q12 15:29, Q6 15:32, Q5 15:37); marked from the chat text they add 7 marks: 20/36 with them, 16/36 on the portal. DAD TO DECIDE whether they stand; the glitch cannot be checked from here. Non-attempts on the portal: 3 of 12 questions, 12 marks, all with time left (7 Oct: 5 of 12 'skip'). 'Skip' typed: 0. Marks lost to technique rather than knowledge: about 12 of 16 — reader-effect clause absent on 4 quotation parts (Lang Q3 x3, Lit Q5), the 'what' strand restating the prompt (Q2), 'today' missed on Q1, no trace on Q8, two binary transcription slips (Q9), hex fact absent (Q11), 'store/output once' spec not read (Q12). Knowledge losses: London's institutions (Q5, Q6). Target from 7 Oct (first line on every question, no 'skip') met on the typed questions; unmet on the portal for Q5/Q6/Q12 if there was no glitch. Quotations in a language answer: 3 (7 Oct: 0). Largest question per section: Q3 6 min, Q6 1 min, Q12 1 min.
Next paper, BEFORE the link: five-minute warm-up again, this time one quotation with suggestion AND reader effect, and one 'state the output' with a trace table — those are the two habits that cost most today. Target for her: on every quotation, two halves — suggests, then makes the reader; on every output question, trace headings before the number. Record: non-attempts on the portal (today 3 of 12, 12 marks, glitch claimed), reader-effect clauses present (0 of 4), trace tables (0 of 1), hand-in minute (36 of 45), flags returned to (0 of 2). Ask Dad first whether the 21 Oct glitch was real; if not, the flag-and-abandon pattern with time left is the week's example (A5, T3).

| A5 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: 3 non-attempts on the portal (Q5, Q6, Q12 = 12 marks) with 9 min left; glitch reported and the answers typed in chat after close; undetermined until Dad checks. 'skip' typed: 0 (7 Oct: 5) | |
| R1 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: Q12 'store… output once' read as print-in-each-branch (2 marks); Q2 'what is happening' answered with the structural shift not the event (1); Q1 'today' missed (1). loss=technique | |
| R2 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: Q3 2-mark parts answered as 1-mark (suggestion only, x3); Q5 3 marks answered with one idea said twice. loss=technique | |
| R3 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: Q8 no trace, Python rewrite instead, 0/1; Q10 carries not written but answer right 3/3. loss=technique on Q8 | |
| R4 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: Q9 both parts — correct method, wrong figure written (34 for 32; extra 8 bit), 0/2. loss=technique | |
| T2 | Not started → Not started | paper #10: no section over guide — Lang 11/14, Lit 3/10, CS 11/16; no pacing loss |
