METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
All candidates will take two written papers.
Paper 1 - Non-calculator, and Paper 2 - Calculator. Each with a duration of 2 hours.
Both papers have equal weighting and each is a total of 80 marks.
Grades A* to E will be available for candidates who achieve the required standards. Since there is no Core Curriculum for this syllabus, Grades F and G will not be available. Therefore, candidates who do not achieve the minimum mark for Grade E will be unclassified.
