- 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.
- Paper 2 remains a practical assessment requiring suitable software, equipment, printing, supervision and centre arrangements. StudyForA has not validated practical delivery or formal assessment readiness.
- The older specification describes June availability, while the current manual lists standard A and onscreen ZA in November 2026 as well. Current dates and practical windows must be confirmed with the centre; an old May/June practical window must not be applied to November.
- This is award and entry reconciliation only. Original teaching, guided, independent and application practice, book mapping, specialist approval and formal assessment validation remain incomplete.
- Specification says Availability: June. Current 2026/2027 manual visually lists November 2026 as well as June 2027 for A and ZA. Retain the assessment structure but use the dated manual for the current entry window.
