Paper 1 SL exam is a textual analysis of an unseen non-literary text.
This paper will ask you to comment on one of two texts within 75 minutes.
Passages for analysis may be complete pieces of writing or extracts from larger works. There is also the possibility of commenting on a visual text. Possible text types for analysis include: advertisements, opinion columns, brochures, extracts from memoirs, or travel writing.
Each individual text is presenting with a guiding question.
With the Paper 2 being eliminated, your Paper 1 will now count for 55% of your final mark, and is assessed externally.
