Fourth point: 36 inches. | 4 | EDM 1. b); EDM 2. a), b); PSI 2. a) g. and h.; Std 2 PI B; National FCS 11.4.2 | | 20 | 3 points: the answer keeps all five needs (1); it uses secondhand or DIY for some items and says which and why, with a quality check (1); it uses the four words correctly and shows the total coming under $400 by reasoning, not by dropping a need (1). A strong answer: buy the mattress new, the bed frame and dresser secondhand, the desk DIY or secondhand, the chair secondhand after checking it is sturdy, and keep the new lamp; the $210 over becomes under budget. Stretch bonus (2): a clear first change with a reason tied to the client's need (for example, the desk becomes a wall shelf and the bed frame becomes a platform; the mattress stays new). | 3 (+2) | EDM 3. a), b); FCL 4. c), f); Std 3 PI C; National FCS 2.1.5 | **Total: 50 points** (plus 2 bonus). Part 1 = 12, Part 2 = 15, Part 3 = 11, Part 4 = 5, Part 5 = 7. Scoring notes: - Items 4, 11, and 14 are the math items. Give the point for a correct answer with the work shown; give half a point for correct work with an arithmetic slip. - Items 19 and 20 are the evaluate-and-justify items. A student who names a problem without a fix on item 19 gets half a point for that line. - A retake uses the same key with new numbers on items 4, 11, and 14 [Sal: swap 60 and 9 watts for 75 and 10; swap the subtotal $312 for $276; swap 3.5 inches for 2.75 inches]. - ELL: the vocabulary list with translations may be used as a word bank; the written response may be in the home language and scored on content.
