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.
How has the syllabus changed?
We have not changed the subject content or the assessment. We have:
- refreshed and updated the syllabus and specimen papers, and made some changes to the order of the syllabus sections.
- 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.
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.
