Lisätietoja

The Examination is an 'Open Book' Examination so the books above - with light annotations on the pages - may be used.

IMPORTANT. A candidate who has been examined already on a particular option at Intermediate Studies level may not offer the same option later at Advanced level. So for example if a candidate has already done Option A on Paul Auster at Intermediate Studies Level, that candidate may not do Option A on Paul Auster at Advanced Level.

At least one course or book exam on Literature at Intermediate Studies level

Oppimateriaalit
