Assessment reports are published by the end of February each year about the previous year's examination. They provide examination statistics and comments on overall candidate performance. Most assessment reports include the marking scheme or selected candidate responses. Past papers are actual examination papers from previous years. Examination papers are generally similar in structure from year to year, although they may vary within the requirements of the syllabus.
