- Regional and regional-onscreen options in this manual are listed for June 2027 only. Follow the centre-location rules on manual page 3; several subject tables mistakenly cross-refer to page 2. Confirm the required entry with the centre.
- Onscreen or mixed paper/onscreen choices require suitable approved centre provision. C or CR in a paper title is not necessarily the entry-option code; use the exact option shown below.
- The standard, paper-based non-regional option is A; the manual explicitly uses 4GE1/A rather than a blank option.
- Fieldwork and enquiry skills require appropriate teaching and supervision; the entry listing does not establish that provision.
- This is award and entry reconciliation only. Original teaching, guided, independent and application practice, book mapping, specialist approval and formal assessment validation remain incomplete.
- URL filename says issue-3, but the cover and assessment footers explicitly state Issue 4 - February 2026.
- The specification requires physical and human fieldwork investigations with quantitative and qualitative evidence and at least two secondary sources. Fieldwork materials are not taken into the exam; appropriate teacher/centre provision remains unverified.
