The document summarizes changes made by the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) to some of their question papers for popular assessments with large numbers of candidates. CIE now uses two similar but distinct variants for some question papers, mark schemes, and examiner reports where previously there was only one. This allows for more past exam material to be available to candidates while maintaining the same standard of assessment across variants. The variants have established relationships to one another through CIE's assessment expertise. Centres will use only one variant for a given administration, but the document provides access to both so candidates have even more practice material.
