Source: official Cambridge specification, verified 2026-08-28. Directly confirmed against the official PDF (Assessment overview p.9, Details of the assessment p.18): both papers are untitled beyond "Paper 1"/"Paper 2" in the syllabus itself, each 2h15/100 marks/50%, questions of mixed length and style drawn from any part of the subject content, a calculator required (algebraic/graphical calculators not permitted), essential working must be shown. Both externally assessed. Not tiered; grades A*-G. The syllabus states explicitly: "This is a new syllabus for first examination in 2027" – Version 1, published September 2024, only the June series is available. As of this verification date (2026-08-28) this syllabus has not yet had its first live sitting; there is no earlier edition of 0479 for it to replace. Its first and final assessment years are both 2027 because this edition is for exams in 2027 only; Cambridge has also published a 2028-2030 edition of 0479 (744788), which is not modeled here.
