How it is assessed
Under the 2027-2029 syllabus, Paper 1 has 40 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour (40 marks, 30%) and Paper 2 has structured questions in 2 hours (80 marks, 70%): one compulsory six-part question in Section A and three questions from a choice of four in Section B.
Students sitting in 2026 follow the earlier structure: a 45-minute multiple-choice paper and a 2 hour 15 minute structured paper.
Where marks are lost
Marked papers show the same patterns year after year:
- โ Diagrams without labels or explanation
- โ Answers that describe instead of analysing
- โ Evaluation missing from longer answers
- โ Data not quoted from the case material
- โ Time spent unevenly across Section B
