Students must complete two exam papers for this specification. We set and mark the exams. The exams may assess students on any aspect of the subject content. They are only available in the summer examination series.
Paper 1 lasts one hour and is worth 40 percent of the final award. Students write a structured report based on a pre-release case study. The case study is available to students from January in the year of the examination.
Paper 2 lasts two hours and is worth 60 percent of the final award. This exam has a range of different question types: short answer and data response questions (which are compulsory) and one essay from a choice of four.
