Information about answer booklets will be found on the front cover of relevant question papers, in the box.
In most cases, a generic answer booklet will be supplied.
These are sent to centres separately from question papers, as part of the general exam stationery despatch.
These are 12-page answer booklets (OCR12) and four-page continuation booklets (OCR4).
To find out which units require the use of the 12-page generic answer booklet, please see the stationery listing above.
In a few cases, a specific answer booklet may be required.
These are sent to centres as part of the confidential question paper despatch and come in three formats:
- Answer booklet with the question paper inserted – the front covers of the answer booklet and question paper give details of the assessment they are to be used for. As the box on the front cover of the answer booklet says, the question paper has been inserted into the booklet.
- Question paper with an answer booklet inserted – the front covers of the question paper and answer booklet give details of the assessment they are to be used for. As the box on the front cover of the question paper says, the answer booklet has been inserted.
- Answer booklet separate from the question paper – if the answer booklet is not provided as an insert, it will be sent in a separate envelope in the same despatch as the question paper.
Remember: the correct answer booklet must be used for each paper.
