heya...i could not understand the phrase "offered subjects?"....
does it mean all those subjects we we opted in CIE examinations??
and also explain me about sample??
thanks in advance..
Offered subjects means subject you wish to offer.
While it isn't necessary that you appeared for the subject you hope to offer from an awarding body, you still require a strong background in it.

The sample should be one complete chapter of your offered subject and no less than 600 words.
Individual samples are required for each subject you hope to offer.

You are only required to submit your sample for now.
Once selected, you'll be provide plenty of time to finish the subject(s).

Hey, I just joined to download a paper, but lingered when I saw the competition advertised. I've read through the thread, but there are still a few points I'm not sure about. I can enter by submitting a sample (and all the other stuff) for each subject I'm interested in offering. Are the rewards per-subject? That is to say, if I'm selected for two subjects, I would assume that entails two rewards (otherwise I may as well have only entered one!) If/When my sample is accepted, I will find out at the end of August, at which stage I am required to provide the rest of that subject's notes. How long will I have, roughly, to provide these notes? (I need to make sure I don't over-commit myself!) Will the reward be given after the initial selection, or only after the rest of the notes are provided?

Edit: Another quick question - for a subject like A-level Maths - there are 18 possible modules (that combine to form further and additional further maths too). If we did a sample chapter for Maths, would we then be expected to cover all 18 modules, or only 6 (the amount required for a standard Maths A-level), or something else?

Thanks!

wait a subject like geography there are about 7 chapters or more but candidate are allowed to chose 5. Any sample from any chapter will cover more than 600 words and i am pretty sure i am gonna pick geography, should i skip some units or what? and will it be okay to make notes on only the 5 chapters i studied in school?.

Q) How are we supposed to handle images. Do we scan them or copy them from other sources?
A) Once your sample is selected, we will assign you an "expect" who will digitally reproduce your provided sketches.
A) However, you can simply copy images from sites that do not enforce copyright restrictions for e.g Wikipedia.

Yes, the rewards are per subject. Your application will be processed a couple of days after your submission and might be successful way before the deadline.
Once selected, you'll be required to provide a time-frame (you heard me right!) and will receive your award upon submission.
Based on our requirements, a complete subject is required after the selection.
