Combined Materials Pack
The Combined Materials Pack (CMP) is ideal if you are sitting a subject for the first time. The key elements of the CMP are:
- Course Notes (incorporating complete Core Reading and Practice Questions)
- Series X Assignments
- Paper B Online Resources (PBOR; in the CM and CS Subjects only, incorporating the Series Y Assignments)
CMPs are available in printed format or as an eBook (except PBOR, which is accessed via a VLE). EBooks can be purchased as an addition to the printed product or as a stand‐alone product.
Subjects CB2, SP6 and SP9
In Subjects CB2, SP6 and SP9, the full‐price CMP also includes the key textbooks referenced by the Core Reading. Printed textbooks are included with the printed CMP. The CMP eBook includes the relevant eTextbook(s) accessible only through VitalSource Bookshelf. More information about Bookshelf can be found here.
Advice for students retaking a subject
Correcting material
For those looking for corrections to the CMP for the current academic year, please refer to our Corrections page.
Study Guide
Study Guides are available in every subject and contain all the information you need to know before you start studying. Study Guides contain details of the study support available, assignment deadlines, advice on how to study efficiently and the full Syllabus for your subject.
We recommend that you download the Study Guide and read it carefully before deciding which subjects to study and ordering your course material.
Course Notes
The Course Notes, available in print or as an eBook, will help you develop the basic knowledge and understanding of principles needed to pass the exam. The Course Notes incorporate the complete Core Reading and include a full explanation of all the syllabus objectives, as well as practice questions at the end of each chapter to test and develop your understanding.
In Subjects CB2, SP6 and SP9, students are also required to read material in specified textbooks, which do not form part of the Course Notes.
Here are some samples:

If you choose not to receive them with the study material, you will be able to download the solutions via a secure link on the internet when your marked script is returned (or following the final deadline date if you do not submit a script). Solutions are always sent in advance to students who have not ordered marking or who are using Marking Vouchers.
Paper B Online Resources
The Paper B Online Resources (PBOR) are the final component of the CMP in the CM and CS Subjects. Delivered only through our VLE, which is called The Hub, you will have access to worked examples and practice questions to help you prepare for the computer‐based paper. PBOR also includes the Y Assignments, two exam‐style assignments, in each subject.
PBOR is accessed through our VLE. Access to PBOR will expire 13 months after purchase.

You need to produce your answers to the Y assignments in a Word document (CS) or Excel document (CM). If you wish to submit your assignments for marking then you need to start from a template document. These templates are available in the PBOR materials but they are also shown here for convenience.
