CAS practice: Build a balanced 18-month CAS portfolio
A student is building an 18-month CAS portfolio that includes "running an after-school language exchange for newly arrived students" and evidence such as planning notes, mentor feedback, attendance patterns, and short reflection entries. Choose the route that keeps the programme balanced and sustained. Select the programme balance, sustained evidence, interview check, and portfolio boundary. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the CAS evidence and reflection authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, reflection quality, and expression.
Worked practice: build the reflection
Work through the CAS task: purpose focus, specific evidence, the CAS move, then a bounded reflection.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
