The paper
What the body's own paper looks like
| Section | Questions | Marks each |
|---|---|---|
| Single paper — multiple choice | 40 | not published |
| Total | 40 | 50 minutes |
As with the maths paper, Humming Bird publishes a question count and a duration and no marking scheme — no mark total, no marks per question, and nothing about negative marking anywhere on its site, which is why the table says "not published" rather than assuming a mark a question. Its FAQ separately says exams "may have 30 to 50 questions depending on the grade and subject" against the 40 stated on the HSO page itself. The mode — online or pen-and-paper — is the school's choice, unless you register directly, in which case it is always online.
