Module complete · Level 2 Engineering 2B
Most of the class lost marks rearranging the volt-drop formula in M03, and over half of them made the same slip.

Level 2 Engineering 2B has now finished M03. Here's what the class's first attempts show.

M03 Q2: Rearranging formulae, make L the subject

13 of 18 learners dropped marks on their first try. 7 of them gave 152 m, which is what you get by multiplying by the current instead of dividing by it. So it's mostly one shared mistake, not thirteen different ones.

10-minute reteach: Write V = mV × I × L ÷ 1000 on the board and cover L. In pairs, learners undo each step in reverse (× 1000, ÷ I, ÷ mV) and check by putting their answer back in. Finish with a fresh cable run for the same lathe.
M03 exam question: Volt drop inside the 3% limit

12 learners lost marks here. 9 of them worked out the volt drop correctly but compared it with 5% instead of the 3% limit in the spec, so their cable choice failed the job.

10-minute reteach: Give pairs three volt drops and the 230 V supply. They find 3% of 230 V first, then say pass or fail for each. Two minutes discussing why lighting circuits get the tighter limit.
M05 Q3: Surface area of a cylinder including both ends

11 learners lost marks here. 8 of them left out one or both ends of the tank: their answers are exactly 2πr² short.

10-minute reteach: Unroll a paper cylinder in front of the class: a rectangle and two circles. Learners label each piece with its area, then add them up for the hydraulic tank.
Worth a check-in
  • Owen is averaging under half marks on first attempts and hasn't started M04 or M05. Worth a check-in this week.
  • Tomasz scored 5 of 12 on M03, his lowest so far.
  • Ryan hasn't started M05 yet.

Going well: Concrete Base (M02) went well: the class averaged 78% on first attempts.
