The maximum achievable raw score for this element is 31 marks. When weighted, this accounts for 20% of the overall total score.

You must achieve a minimum raw score of 10 in order to progress to the interview stage. Should you score below this threshold your application will be longlisted out prior to the evidence upload stage.
