• Scientific calculator allowed
• 1 hour 30 minutes
• 80 marks
• 50% of AS-level, 20% of A-level

AS Paper 2 – Unit FPSM1:

• Any part of the FPSM1 section of the specification may be assessed
• Scientific calculator allowed
• 1 hour 30 minutes
• 80 marks
• 50% of AS-level, 20% of A-level

A-level Paper 1 – Unit FP2:

• Any part of the FP2 section of the specification may be assessed
• Scientific calculator allowed
• 2 hours 30 minutes
• 120 marks
• 37.5% of A-level

A-level Paper 2 (Option A) – Unit FS2:

• Any part of the FS2 section of the specification may be assessed
• Scientific calculator allowed
• 1 hour 30 minutes
• 80 marks
• 22.5% of A-level

A-level Paper 2 (Option B) – Unit FM2:

Re-sits:

• Candidates may re-sit a unit any number of times.
• The best result for each unit will count towards the final qualification.
• Candidates who wish to repeat a qualification may do so by re-sitting one or more units.
