Instructor:
How this maps to the app: each area code (CTRL, OBS, JCT…) links to a feedback card with a plain-English explanation, a remedy ("how to fix it") and an instruction video, sent to the learner as a PDF after the lesson. How it maps to the real test: repeated Developing marks = RSA Grade 1 faults (you fail on 9 total, or 4 under one heading); a Fault mark = an RSA Grade 2 (serious) or Grade 3 (dangerous) fault, and one is enough to fail.
