What the material is

The study material is written to the discipline’s domains and learning objectives, chapter by chapter, with worked examples and unscored checks in the lessons and assessed workbooks where the level requires applied work. It does not contain a bank of practice questions matching the examination; the specimen paper shows the style and standard of the examination, with a written rationale for every option.
