We currently supply 3D models and shapes with every order that is placed for modified large print and braille papers for all Mathematics exams.
Following recent feedback supplied by centres, there has been a strong indication that not all students require 3D models and shapes.
We have reviewed this feedback along with our current process, and the impact that creating an unused product has on the environment. We would like to reduce the amount of material we are wasting on unused models and shapes that are being supplied unnecessarily to all candidates.
From the summer 2023 exams onwards, we are changing the way we supply 3D models and shapes for use with modified large print papers. If 3D models and shapes are required by a candidate using any modified large print paper (18pt A4, 24pt A4, 24pt A3, 36pt A3) then these must be ordered by emailing
additional_requirements@pearson.com. You should supply us with your centre number and modified paper order number from AAO/PAAO (e.g MP123456).
Please note: 3D models and shapes will continue to automatically arrive with any orders for UEB Grade 1 or UEB Grade 2 braille papers.
