Technique read of the CS paper 2 placement (test #2, 2 h window, 53 marks, guide 90 min). Started 12:52 Mon 28 Sep, closed by Paige after 28 min — 92 of 120 min unused. Order: Q1, Q4, Q7, Q22 (the six-marker, fourth, against the instruction to do it last), then Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q8–Q11, Q16–Q21, Q12–Q15. No flags. 17 'skip' entries as the placement allowed, all on untaught content, so not counted as avoidance; 0 typed blanks. Time: Q3 and Q6 (binary) 7 min each before skipping — effort on untaught content, not a time hog since neither had a guide she could meet. The six-marker: 3 min against a 9-min guide, two sentences, one of three named groups, no verdict — Level 1, 2/6; this is the same shape as yesterday's Literature one-sentence 24-marker and is the technique target: the extended answer is attempted but stops at the first idea. Marks lost to technique rather than knowledge: Q22 — 2 further marks were available from the school's side and a verdict with content she had (she named the hack risk); Q11 — 'ram and memory' answered the component not the function, a command-word loss on a topic she partly had.
Next paper with a discuss/explain question: before Start read one line aloud — 'a 6-mark discuss wants each group the question names, one point and one because each, then a verdict'. Record sentences written and minutes used against the guide. Keep watching whether she closes with most of the window unused.
