    I don’t understand your problem.

    The standard of questions is exactly the same. The only difference is that for some of the Section A and B questions then you might have to type in an answer rather than choose from four answer.

    Section C is exactly the same. In the paper based exams you write out your answer. In the computer based exams you type out your answer.

    For calculating questions in Section C there is a spreadsheet available (and you can also use the word processor).

    You will also have paper available so you can do your workings for the questions in Section A and B, but of course nobody looks at your workings for these questions, whether you use paper based or computer based.
