The information from the exam board gives us a board overview of what is
covered in the exam. If a topic is not listed as a ‘major focus’ it can still come
up in a question but that question might not be worth many marks. There are
questions in this paper that cover topics that are not a ‘major focus’ for the
exam but don’t let that worry you!
