During the practical examination in the third term the learner/s must demonstrate a variety of culinary skills. Assessment will focus on the production process and the saleability of the products. The facilitator must set TWO tests. Each test will have: o at least two products o a minimum skill-code weighting of 0 points o a variety of culinary skills and techniques ONE of the following products will be included in the test: o Yeast product (baked or deep fried) o Choux pastry o A gelatine dish (not commercial jelly) o Home-made short crust pastry for tarts, pies or quiche o Swiss roll o Soft meringue e.g. Lemon Meringue Pie o Sugar cookery The second product may include any appropriate skill or techniques as long as the total skill-code weighting adds up to a minimum of 0 points. The weighting of the two products should preferably be equal or as equal as possible. 5. PREPARING FOR THE EXAMINATION All equipment needed should be available and in working order before the start of the practical examination. Photocopy the tests (recipes and order of work) for the learners (if applicable). Prepare the mark sheets with the learner s/s names and ID numbers (or examination numbers if available).

They will not know how the recipes are combined in test format and will not know which recipes they will draw. Purchase the ingredients. Clean and tidy up the training kitchen.
