Additional exam materials list
Use our Additional materials list (PDF, 312KB) to find out the additional materials candidates need in the exam, the exam materials we provide and whether the candidates should answer directly on the question paper, writing paper/answer booklets or multiple-choice answer sheets.
Special consideration
Special consideration is a post-exam adjustment that we make to a candidate's mark. We do this to make allowances for some adverse circumstances, for example illness, bereavement, temporary injury or disruption to an exam. See our special consideration page.
We will tell you the requirements for special consideration in the March 2025 series as soon as we can.
