Introducing the tutor2u AAQ BTEC National Unit 1 and 2 Exam Topic Tracker & RAG Rater tools!

We've just launched the beta version of a set of free interactive tools to help you and your students as you prepare for AAQ BTEC National Unit 1 and 2 exams.

Topic Tracker/RAG Rater

What it does:

  • Shows every topic from the specification mapped to actual exam questions
  • Currently mapped to sample assessment material (SAM), Additional Sample Assessment Material (AddSAM) and the two tutor2u practice papers
  • Students rate their confidence (Red/Amber/Green) on each topic - progress saves automatically
  • Hover over any exam entry to see the full question stem
  • Highlights which topics are examined most frequently - and which examined less frequently (so far!)
  • Filters by paper, so students only see what's relevant to their options
  • Students can bookmark it and return anytime - their topic ratings persist in their browser on their device
  • RAG ratings can be exported and shared to the teacher dashboard

Take a look for yourself:

Teacher Dashboard

This add on tool enables you to rapidly get a handle on whole class preparation, or to drill down to individual topic or student level.

  • Import class RAG rated data
  • View by heatmap of the whole class
  • View by weakest topics
  • View by student

Take a look at the teacher dashboards:

The best way to get a handle of how powerful this tool is, is to have a go yourself! On the Teacher Dashboard tool, we have included the option to import sample student data so you can test it out prior to use with your own students.

Please let us know of any changes, tweaks or improvements you would like to see in v2.0!
