When you know which of the tests is assigned to you, read it through carefully, then complete the
Choices and Recipes Preparation Sheet (formerly Plan of Work), Time Plan and Shopping List as
follows, using the Preparation Sheets provided.
(i) On the Choices and Recipes Preparation Sheet, write down the dishes that you decide
to make. (Try to choose familiar but interesting dishes which give you scope to show your
skill.) Do not copy out the test. List the dishes in the correct order to answer the question.
(ii) Beside each of the dishes chosen, give the quantities of the main ingredients required. (A
full recipe is not necessary.)
(iii) Complete the Time Plan to show the order of working, the methods to be used, and the
length of time required for cooking each dish. Frozen, tinned and packaged foods (i.e.
‘convenience’ foods) may be used with discretion, but enough work must be planned to
show skill and to occupy the whole of the Practical Test.
(iv) Complete the Shopping List to show the total quantities of the ingredients required.
The amounts cooked should be sufficient for two or three people, but this may be governed by the
requirements of each particular test. Recipe books may be used during the Planning Session, but
frequent reference to them is to be avoided during the Practical Test.
Write your name, candidate number and the number of the test on your three Preparation Sheets.
Give them and any notes you may have made, with this question paper, to the Supervisor at the end of
the Planning Session. You may not take away a copy of the Practical Test, your Preparation Sheets or
any notes (other than your recipe books). You may not bring fresh notes to the Practical Test.
The question paper and one copy of your Preparation Sheets will be returned to you by the Practical
Examiner at the beginning of the Practical Test. You will be expected to keep to your plan. At the end
of the Practical Test, the question paper and Preparation Sheets must be handed to the Practical
Examiner.
