Good morning, David.

Well, I suppose it is if you've submitted a good one.

Yes.

There's definitely nothing you can do at this stage.

So, yeah, that gets done.

Usually it gets completed between September and November and then the students give it to the teachers and then it's uploaded in early January.

So, look, it's a new element that's coming into a lot of exams in business.

It's going to be 40%.

And some other subjects, 25 applied maths, 40 as well.

So it's a seismic change in assessment.

And, you know, it has its pros, but it also has its cons.

But for 2026, for my class anyway, all 24 have submitted theirs anyway.

Yeah, no problem.

It's a very, very straightforward one.

Section A, which is 10 short questions.

That's 100 marks, which is another 20% of the overall exam.

We always recommend, David, that the students do all those questions and the examiner, which is an owner's job enough, his or her job is to pick the best eight of those 10.

So you always do those 10.

You have about 30 minutes, maybe 35 minutes there for that because it's 100 marks.

And then there's four questions, four long questions out of six, and each of those represent 75 marks.
