The papers are each divided into two sections, each carrying the same number of marks. Section (a) contains three passages from the Target Texts for the paper. Section (b) contains three 'unseens', including both prose and poetry. All passages in Section (b) of Papers 1, 3, and 4 will be taken from authors on the Target Texts schedule for those papers; all passages in Section (b) of Paper 2 will be taken from authors on the Target Texts schedule for that paper or from Xenophon.
