Hi Nettie, thanks for your message. Unfortunately I'm not a tutor and am certainly no expert having only just submitted my level 3 portfolio myself. My suggestion would be to take all these questions to your tutor and get him/her to answer each one. Try writing them down if you're struggling to articulate using sign language - I'm sure you'll find common ground between the two of you. Your tutor should know the answers and will be most familiar with the requirements from the exam board - that's their job!

Good luck!

Then the tutor gave us a list where we choose, I chose: music (general) -video-productive/receptive 50/50
