Need advice on occupational specalism task 2 (T-Level DPDD)

I do not know how much documentation for task 2 I actually need to do. I did a mock recently and got a Merit, and my tutor did not have any feedback on my documentation, just feedback on some minor improvements for the solution and including screenshots in the testing. What I find so concerning is that I am practically screenshotting every line of code I write, and then if I change that line of code I document the change. The documentation ends up being about 80 ish pages. This takes an enourmous amount of time and it means I am rushed to do testing and actually implement the solution.

The distinction example has absouletely no development documentation, and instead only shows the end code with the corresponding page and a brief explanation of that page, this does not seem correct and my tutor has told me to ignore anything pearson does. I also have a very small amount of time to screenshot the pages, explain what it does and then screenshot the code for said page at the end. In total I end up with near 150 pages just for task 2 documentation alone. What is the correct one here?

Bit late cause I know task 2 starts again next week but I would advise doing the documentation at the end when you have developed everything and use screenshots of the code and the page and writing about it. Another tip is when you're creating the test log don't screenshot every test u do regarding minor errors as they don't go towards any marks and take too much time so I would advice making sure u do at least one different type of test and mainly focus on testing your calculations.
