• Paper 2: on 24 of 25 papers, 1–17 marks a paper (11 on average)

Read question by question: blind checks found 116 of 120 question parts tagged with the right topic (95% confidence interval 91.7–98.7%). “needs (a)” names an earlier part the listed parts build on, and “then (c)” a later part that continues from them, so a question can be worked through whole.
