What topic areas are covered in the exam?
In the writing paper, the first question is worth 21 marks and the second question is worth 15 marks. You should spend around 35 minutes on question 1 and 25 minutes on question 2.
The Edexcel (Pearson) Functional Skills English Level 1 exam assesses three key skills:
- Reading
- Writing
- Spelling, punctuation and grammar
There are 30 marks for reading, and 36 marks for writing and spelling, punctuation and grammar, so reading is the most heavily weighted, but a good skill level in all areas is still essential for success.
