That Blue Square Thing - ICT Functional Skills

Heart Touch Exercises

I haven't taught Functional ICT for a few years now and was quite surprised to find out that it was still going. Some of the help sheets here were originally written for older versions of Office software, but they should more or less work for more up to date ones.

These tasks came from an exam in 2008. They give you a good idea of the range of functional skills tasks you could face.

The tasks are divided into Level 2 (more complex) and Level 1 (easier) tasks. It would be worth trying both sets if you're going to do a Level 2 exam. If you're going to do a Level 1 exam them the Presentation Task for Level 2 might be worth looking at.

The style of Functional Skills exams might have changed a little since these were live tasks, but the key nature of the tasks hasn't changed that much. These are still a good place to start from...
