This paper shares its time with another
The clock covers both. Nobody tells you in the room how to split it, so decide before you sit down — running out on one half is the common way to lose marks you could read for.
How it is scored
The exam board does not publish a point total or a pass threshold for this paper on its own, so none is stated here. Where a threshold matters, it is set per exam rather than per paper.
Practise with the official material
The exam board publishes a complete practice set free of charge. It is the only material that matches this format exactly.
