First level

- assessment of more than one piece of work including a component under formal examination conditions
- written work of 4,000 words (or 3,000 words for 10-point units)

- written work of 5,000–6,000 words (or 3,500-4,000 words for 10-point units)
Each hour of written examination time counts as 1,000 words.
A 15-minute written examination is the equivalent of 1,000 words.
All units are 15 points unless otherwise indicated.
