The theory paper (80 marks, 3 hours, 43 questions, all compulsory) is set only from the 18 lessons here. Lessons 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 20, 23 and 30 are assessed only through the Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA), done at home, not in the theory exam. The practical exam (20 marks) is separate.
How often each chapter appears in the board's past papers is added when the past-paper study is done.
