How marks and question types are counted
All printed alternatives are counted in these historical shares; candidates follow the paper’s instructions to choose which questions to answer. Mixed-topic items are kept together, and each indexed question contributes its marks once.
All 40 Section A prompt alternatives, four Section B frameworks and one Section C task are indexed per year. Candidates answer one task per section (60 marks); printed-choice mark totals are larger and are not the weighting students sit. Use a single section to compare historical formats. Text-choice cohort averages are not assigned to individual alternative prompts. Framework means are displayed only where specifically published on the 20-mark scale. The 2023 examination used a different Section B design and is excluded. Open the official paper for the exact question and stimulus.
Use these patterns alongside your own lost marks to choose practice. Keep covering the full syllabus: repeated topics are not guaranteed to appear again.
