Do syllabuses relate closely to the exam questions set each year?
Yes.. Exam questions may be set on any aspect of the syllabus. Therefore there is no way to predict which areas of the syllabus examiners will focus on when setting exam questions.. Even if a specific topic/area has been an exam question in consecutive exam sessions, there is no guarantee that this will appear in the next session’s exam paper. If you are studying at a Teaching Institution, your lecturer or tutor may decide to focus on a specific aspect of the syllabus. However, you will still need to ensure that you are familiar with the syllabus as a whole in order to be fully prepared for the exam.
