News about controlled assessment briefs

Here are some extracts from two previous WJEC controlled assessment briefs that have already been published by another publisher, and that teachers and students may find useful. With the agreement of WJEC we are publishing them here in the interests of ensuring a level playing field for all students, regardless of which textbook they  use.
