Will I find it hard?
Difficulty depends on your experience, interests, teaching and assessment. These are our reflection prompts, not an official difficulty rating.
- Do you enjoy designing, testing and improving a solution over several attempts?
- Look at the tools and techniques in the course outline. Ask your school which equipment and projects it uses.
Does it scale up or down?
TASC awards and scaled TE scores are distinct. The old requirement for three final-year results was removed from 2025.
