Dear FOI,

Your response indicated that providing the information I asked for in my original request would exceed the cost limit. I am rather puzzled by how this request was denied due to time because a request asking for the 2010-17 was accepted.

I have therefore reduced my request in scope, as follows:

I would like the past papers and their respective mark schemes for the last 8 years for the following:
- Chemistry Part IA
- Chemistry A Part IB
- Chemistry B Part IB
- Chemistry Part II
- Chemistry Part III

If (and only if), you decide to refuse my request above, I am providing an alternative a second alternative:

If you cannot send the papers within an 8-year frame, I would like the past papers and their mark schemes for the last 7 years for:
- Chemistry Part IA
- Chemistry A Part IB
- Chemistry B Part IB
- Chemistry Part II
In addition to an explanation on how you determined that my 8-year request surpassed the 18-hour limit (any calculations would be appreciated).

Yours sincerely,

Harrington Howard
