Changes to 2022 Level 1 and 2 Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences Examinations

The language and layout of the 2022 Levels 1 and 2 Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences examinations have been simplified to help students provide more succinct responses.

The language used to start each question may change from “describe”, “explain” or “comprehensively analyse” to “How is….”, “How does…” or “How and/or why”, as appropriate.

The change does not affect the content being taught.

Exemplars provided

The 2021 examination questions have been re-written to provide exemplars of the changes.

For further information, refer to Level 1 and Level 2, Assessment Specifications, with links to exemplars of this change in language.
