Controlled Assessment of

Unit 9.05

You have 30 minutes to complete the controlled assessment.

Total mark is [20]

Before you begin, open up PYTHON on your computer and enter SCRIPT mode.  It is here you will write your program and save it.

Save your program as YOURNAME_Controlled_Assessment.py

(with an underscore _ used)

For example,      JoeBloggs_Controlled_Assessment.py

Read through twice the following situation and afterwards, turn over the page to attempt the tasks required of you.

Situation

The current Primary 4 class at Glenagoorland Primary school are learning their multiplication tables.  They have already covered the 1 to 10 multiplication tables and are currently learning the 11-times multiplication table.  

Here is what they are trying to learn:

Their teacher, Miss Clarke, has asked you to create a program that will test them on their 11-times tables.  

She has decided that their performance should be graded as follows:

• if a pupil knows all the 11-times table, they should be awarded an A* grade.         Score (10 / 10)
• if a pupil makes 1 mistake, they should be awarded a A grade.                          Score (9 / 10)
• if a pupil makes 2 mistakes, they should be awarded a B grade.                  Score (8 / 10)
• if a pupil makes 3 mistakes, they should be awarded a C grade.                  Score (7 / 10)

• If a pupil makes 4 or more mistakes, they are not awarded a grade but are told ‘Must try harder!’                                  Score (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or  6 / 10)

Task 1

In your new Python program (in SCRIPT mode):

• Use commenting to add Your Name and the word ‘Controlled Assessment’ at the top of the program. [1]

• The program should greet the user with a simple message, such as

Welcome! Have a go at the 11-times table test! [1]

Task 2

• The program should then prompt the user for their name and assign the user’s name to a variable.  The variable should have a meaningful name. [2]

Task 3

• The program should then prompt the user with the first question what is 1 x 11?         [1]

• The end user’s answer should then be compared with the right answer so that…

if their answer is correct, then 

• Output ‘Well done!’
• 1 mark should be added to a variable called Score.

else

• Output ‘Sorry, wrong answer’.                                                                [5]

Note: there is no requirement to show the score after every question

Task 4

• Repeat the entire Task 3 for the following questions:

             what is 2 x 11?    right up to     what is 10 x 11?                        [3]

Note: you will find it helpful to use the copy & paste feature

Task 5

• After answering ALL 10 questions, the program should output the following:                [2]

Well done [name variable] you have answered all 10 questions!

Task 6

• The final output from your program must show the grade achieved from the test, based on the  end user’s performance. Use the score to decide which grade has been achieved as shown on the first page.                                                                                                          [4]

Here is an example of what should be output:   (end user scored 7 /  10)

[name variable] achieved a grade C

Python Controlled Assessment Mark Scheme

You should access the pupil’s source code to assess their solutions.

Task 1: [MAX 2]

[1]   # Their Name     CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT in comments at top of program

[1]   Greeting message.  No need to be strict on spelling or wording here.  Any welcome will do.

Task 2: [MAX 2]

[1] meaningful variable name (e.g. name, your_name, my_name etc.)

[1] input('Please enter your name: ')

Task 3: [MAX 6]

[1]  For the capture of end user’s response  (e.g input())

[1] if answer == 11:

[1]     print('Well done!')

[1]     score = score + 1

[1] else:

[1]     print('Sorry, wrong answer')  # [5 marks]

Task 4: [MAX 3]

Award [1]...for every 3 questions correctly written.  

Task 5: [MAX 2]

Award [1]...Output of relevant message (do NOT be too strict on wording, as long as it is relevant)

Award [1]...for insertion of name variable in mid-string.

Task 6: [MAX 5]

if score == 10:

    print(name,' achieved a grade A*')

if score == 9:

    print(name,' achieved a grade A')

if score == 8:

    print(name,' achieved a grade B')

if score == 7:

    print(name,' achieved a grade C')

if score < 7:

    print(name,' Must try harder!'
