Topic Tracker: The first stage is now complete and we are now aware of the questions which are available internally. The next stage is to develop areas which to date have not been covered. Sourcing appropriate personnel to complete this stage is currently underway.
Expansion of the Resource Packs: All work relating to the expansion of the resource packs, which will include all topics in the Specification, has been written and returned to CCEA and is currently going through the proofing procedure. It is expected that these additional topics will be available early in the new school year.

In response to requests from schools, CCEA has agreed with the regulators to increase the duration of the AS / A2 listening tests from the summer of 2011.
The AS listening test will increase from 30 – 40 minutes. The reading and writing paper will be reduced by the same amount – from 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes.
The A2 listening test will increase from 35 – 40 minutes. The reading and writing paper will be reduced by the same amount – from 2 hours 25 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes.
The first exam papers that will have these new timings will be the AS and A2 exams in the summer of 2011.
