The weightings correspond to the number of learning materials that each syllabus topic requires. The relative complexity of each topic, and consequently the amount of justification and support needed for it, will also be reflected in this.

  • The depth of prior knowledge that is anticipated; 
  • The requirement to give comprehensive foundation understanding on which to build the other objectives.
  • How much of each subject is knowledge- versus application-based.

Skill levels

The use of a certain command verb in a syllabus objective does not imply that this is the only way to enquire about the subject matter covered by that objective. The Examiners may use any of the authorised command verbs, which are detailed in the document “Command verbs used in the Associate and Fellowship written examinations,” to ask a question about any topic covered by the curriculum.

Any skill level may be represented by a question, including Knowledge (demonstration of thorough knowledge and understanding of the topic), Application (demonstration of the ability to apply the guiding principles of the topic within a given context), and Higher Order (demonstration of the ability to perform more in-depth analysis and assessment of situations, including making judgements, accounting for different points of view, comparing and contrasting situations, and suggesting solutions).

25% Knowledge, 50% Application, and 25% Higher Order skills are roughly the three skill types assessed in the SP disciplines.
