Running a real digital project to a deadline for a real user.
These are the statements the Information and Software Technology syllabus makes about Project Work. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Project Work are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Information and Software Technology uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Project Work is module 2 of 3 in Information and Software Technology. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Information and Software Technology dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
