Source: official Cambridge specification, verified 2026-08-27. Directly confirmed against the official PDF (Syllabus overview, p.8-9): both candidates must take Paper 1 and Paper 2, each 1.5 hours / 50 marks (five questions, Question 1 and Question 2 compulsory plus two more chosen), no explicit percentage stated by the board but the two equal-mark papers are therefore 50%/50% of the total. Both externally assessed, not tiered, answered in English. The syllabus PDF previously cited (635787, window 2024-2025) had lapsed; this record and the matching syllabus record were both corrected to the current 2026-2027 edition (697279) in the same update. Examination-series window 2026-2027 (June and November series); no separate first-teaching date published.
