, Endorsement indicates that a resource has passed Cambridge International’s rigorous quality-assurance process and is suitable to
support the delivery of a Cambridge International syllabus. However, endorsed resources are not the only suitable materials available
to support teaching and learning, and are not essential to be used to achieve the qualification. Resource lists found on the Cambridge
International website will include this resource and other endorsed resources. Any example answers to questions taken from past
question papers, practice questions, accompanying marks and mark schemes included in this resource have been written by the
authors and are for guidance only. They do not replicate examination papers. In examinations the way marks are awarded may be
different. Any references to assessment and/or assessment preparation are the publisher’s interpretation of the syllabus requirements.
Examiners will not use endorsed resources as a source of material for any assessment set by Cambridge International. While the
publishers have made every attempt to ensure that advice on the qualification and its assessment is accurate, the official syllabus,
specimen assessment materials and any associated assessment guidance materials produced by the awarding body are the only
authoritative source of information and should always be referred to for definitive guidance. Cambridge International recommends
that teachers consider using a range of teaching and learning resources based on their own professional judgement of their students’
needs. Cambridge International has not paid for the production of this resource, nor does Cambridge International receive any royalties
from its sale. For more information about the endorsement process, please visit www.cambridgeinternational.org/endorsed-resources.
