    S3 Specification Change?
    Hey,

    Does anyone know when the Edexcel S3 specification changed?
    I'm doing past papers from 2008 and coming across questions that I haven't covered in class. Don't know if I need to know this stuff or if it's been removed from the spec?

    Thanks

    In terms of content, S3 hasn't changed since it was introduced in 2000 - every past paper, including 2008, is in line with the current specification. The only change has been in the coursework component, it no longer exists.
