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.

Who can I contact for further information on these changes?

Please direct any questions about this to CIE’s Customer Services team at:
[email protected]
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
