Location Entry Codes As part of CIE’s continual commitment to maintaining best practice in assessment, CIE uses different variants of some question papers for our most popular assessments with large and widespread candidature. The question papers are closely related and the relationships between them have been thoroughly established using our assessment expertise. All versions of the paper give assessment of equal standard. The content assessed by the examination papers and the type of questions is unchanged. This change means that for this component there are now two variant Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal Examiner’s Reports where previously there was only one. For any individual country, it is intended that only one variant is used. This document contains both variants which will give all Centres access to even more past examination material than is usually the case. The diagram shows the relationship between the Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal Examiners’ Reports that are available. Question Paper Mark Scheme Principal Examiner’s Report Introduction Introduction Introduction First variant Question Paper First variant Mark Scheme First variant Principal Examiner’s Report Second variant Question Paper Second variant Mark Scheme Second variant Principal Examiner’s Report Who can I contact for further information on these changes? Please direct any questions about this to CIE’s Customer Services team at: international@cie.org.uk The titles for the variant items should correspond with the table above, so that at the top of the first page of the relevant part of the document and on the header, it has the words: • First variant Question Paper / Mark Scheme / Principal Examiner’s Report or • Second variant Question Paper / Mark Scheme / Principal Examiner’s Report as appropriate. www.XtremePapers.com

Location Entry Codes As part of CIE’s continual commitment to maintaining best practice in assessment, CIE has begun to use different variants of some question papers for our most popular assessments with extremely large and widespread candidature, The question papers are closely related and the relationships between them have been thoroughly established using our assessment expertise. All versions of the paper give assessment of equal standard. The content assessed by the examination papers and the type of questions are unchanged. This change means that for this component there are now two variant Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal Examiner’s Reports where previously there was only one. For any individual country, it is intended that only one variant is used. This document contains both variants which will give all Centres access to even more past examination material than is usually the case. The diagram shows the relationship between the Question Papers, Mark Schemes and Principal Examiner’s Reports.
