As part of our ongoing commitment to make sure that our syllabuses meet the needs of our students, schools and higher education institutions around the world, we have updated this syllabus for assessment in 2020 and 2021.
How has the syllabus changed?
- The syllabus and specimen papers have been refreshed and updated, including the order of the syllabus sections.
- We have added a list of command words and their meanings to help learners know what’s expected of them in the exam.
How has the assessment changed?
- We have updated the instructions on the front covers of the question papers. All part questions are now numbered using the labelling (a), (b), (c), whether the parts are dependent or independent. Roman numerals will only be used for labelling further divisions within a part e.g. (a) (i).
There are no changes to the subject content and its assessment.
When do these changes take place?
These changes are for examination in June and November 2020 and 2021. For full details, please refer to the 2020-2021 syllabus above, including the ‘Changes to this syllabus’ section, as well as the new specimen paper.
