on the left hand side. Starting from the bottom and tick
your way up. You'll notice that if you are ticking the more
complex techniques like searching for example, you are
also going to be simpler techniques such as loops.
These complexity bands are broad and overlap because
the emphasis is on ingenuity.

CAUTION:
You shouldn't just be ticking as many as possible and
cram everything in. Points awarded for ingenuity when
solving problems and not just because you have shown
you can use these techniques. If you struggle to get into
the 5-7 band, your clients problem or your aproach to
solving it probably isn't complex enough.
