Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Food Technology Year 9” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.

Feeding groups safely and on time, from planning to service.
Cooking for people whose needs differ: allergies, intolerances, medical diets and life stages.
A Food Technology Year 9 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| select | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 9 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
