Assignments

Series X Assignments

Series X Assignments are ideal for first-time sitters as they are co-ordinated with each part of the course to give you exam practice as you progress through the Course Notes.

Assignments can be purchased with or without marking.

The Series X Assignments are included in the Combined Materials Pack.

Note: We typically send out full solutions with the Series X Assignments. However, if you order Series X Marking (which is not included in the price of the CMP or Assignments, please click here for price of the CMP or Assignments for price details) at the same time as you order the Series X Assignments, you can choose whether or not to receive a copy of the solutions in advance. If you choose not to receive them with the study material, you will be able to download the solutions via a secure link on the internet when your marked script is returned (or following the final deadline date if you do not submit a script). Solutions are always sent in advance to students who have not ordered marking or who are using Marking Vouchers.

Paper B Online Resources

The Paper B Online Resources (PBOR) are the final component of the CMP in the CM and CS Subjects. Delivered only through our VLE, which is called The Hub, you will have access to worked examples and practice questions to help you prepare for the computer-based paper. PBOR also includes the Y Assignments, two exam-style assignments, in each subject.

PBOR is accessed through our VLE. Access to PBOR will expire 13 months after purchase.

Assignments can be purchased with or without marking.

Series Y Assignments

The Series Y Assignments (in the CM and CS Subjects only) are included in the Combined Materials Pack.

Note: We typically send out full solutions with the Series Y Assignments (via the VLE for the Paper B exams). However, if you order Series Y Marking (which is not included in the price of the CMP or Assignments, please click here for price details for price details) at the same time as you order the Series Y Assignments, you can choose whether or not to receive a copy of the solutions in advance. If you choose not to receive them with the study material, you will be able to download the solutions via a secure link on the internet when your marked script is returned (or following the final deadline date if you do not submit a script). Solutions are always sent in advance to students who have not ordered marking or who are using Marking Vouchers.

Y assignment answer templates and data files

You need to produce your answers to the Y assignments in a Word document (CS) or Excel document (CM). If you wish to submit your assignments for marking then you need to start from a template document. For the CM subjects, the answer templates contain the data required for the assignment questions. These, together with the additional CS subject data files, are available in the PBOR materials courses on The Hub, but they are also provided here for convenience.

For CS subjects, approaches that can be taken to completing your answer template for questions involving the use of R can be found here for questions involving the use of R.

 

Submitting Assignments

We only accept the current version of assignments for marking, ie those published for the sessions leading to the 2025 exams. If you wish to submit your script for marking but only have an old version (in subjects with a one-to-one mapping to a new subject), then you can request the current assignments free of charge provided you meet the conditions below.

Assignments will be provided free of charge only if you have purchased the same paper in the same subject the previous year (ie sessions leading to the 2024 exams), and have purchased marking for the 2025 session.

Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that an assignment reaches us by the final deadline, although where possible we encourage you to work to the recommended submission dates. Please follow the instructions on each assignment.
