Can we use photocopies in the exam?

There are potential copyright implications which mean that we cannot condone Centres photocopying Set Texts. Please clarify what is acceptable under the terms of international copyright and any local educational licence that might apply.

Further guidance on the legality of photocopying Set Texts can be found on the IGCSE Literature forum of the School Support Hub.

There are many editions of set texts available, with newer editions sometimes including notes (often displayed on facing pages), illustrations, activities and further resources which make these texts particularly useful and user friendly for classroom use. If you are purchasing texts that are intended for both classroom and examination use, we would advise that you avoid editions that include extensive study notes and page-facing translations.
