What examiners said

Many candidates gained full credit for identifying the three levels of the sports development pyramid. Generally, weaker candidates were able to identify the elite level, but often got confused with the other two levels.

Many candidates gained at least partial credit for this question by describing appropriate characteristics for performers at foundation level and performance level. Weaker candidates sometimes provided descriptions of other topics.

— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0413/12 Q3 (Cambridge)

This question was often answered well, and most candidates identified the elite level, but fewer were able to identify both levels correctly.
