Permitted materials
The Awarding Body allows for the provision of permitted materials within the examinations.
Where candidates are allowed to bring permitted materials into the exam room, you will be told 5 weeks prior to the examination in writing. Where materials are permitted into the exam room, only original and unmarked/unannotated copies may be taken into the exam room. Downloaded copies from the internet are not permitted into the examination room under any circumstances.
Where the examination has been marked as closed book, the examiner will either ensure that all questions are written to provide the candidate with the information they need, or, an extract from the relevant piece of legislation will be included within the paper or on the desk.
