How do we organise shared access to microscope slides in the practical exam?

It is standard practice for two students to share one slide during the examination. As the students will be sharing slides, it is usual for schools to have half the students starting on question 1, and the remaining half starting on question 2.

Therefore, we will supply slides on the basis of 1 between 2 candidates. If schools make additional entries, more slides will be sent on the same basis.
