The information is provided under the following headings: Subject & Paper Number This is the number printed on the question paper and the attendance register. Answer Books For each examination, an indication is given as to the likely requirement per candidate. Clearly, this information can only be a guide as some candidates will write more than others.

The following indicators have been used: 20p New style booklet – must be used in examinations to be scanned for on-screen marking. The special (pink) scannable answer booklet will be sufficient for the vast majority of candidates, but if any candidate requires additional writing space, a standard 4 page (blue) continuation booklet should be used and not a second 20p booklet. Candidates must follow the instructions on the front of the question paper for indicating question numbers in the answer booklet. 12p+ Candidates will require at least a 12 page booklet and will probably require additional booklets also. 12p A 12 page booklet will be sufficient for most candidates. 8p An 8 page booklet will be sufficient for most candidates. 4p A 4 page continuation booklet should be sufficient for most candidates. This applies to examinations where most of the questions are answered in a question-and-answer booklet, but a small amount may need to be written in a separate booklet.
