# Project report essentials --- Here is how to make sure you pass. --- ### 1. Read the assessment plan Take the time to fully read and understand the assessment plan. If in doubt about anything, ask us. --- ### 2. Complete a mapping document when you submit your project proposal The end-point assessment organisation provides a template. Use it. --- ### 3. Cover what is in the plan Let the mapping document submitted with your proposal drive both your project and your report. If you say you are going to do something in the proposal mapping document, it needs to be in the report. --- ### 4. Include a new mapping document when you submit your report > *"The project must map, in an appendix, how it evidences the relevant KSBs"* The mapping document for your report needs to follow the mapping document submitted with your proposal, this time referencing the report itself. --- Good use of the two mapping documents are key to your success. They are designed to clearly signal at the start what you plan to do and at the end how you have done it. They are designed to make the examiner's job easier and therefore to make it easier for them to give you a passing grade. --- ### 5. Keep to the word count #### 4,050 - 4,950 words. (excluding appendices) --- Do your best to make the examiner's job easy. Stick to the brief. Let the mapping documents drive your report (and not the other way round). --- That's it.
