Take a look at their web sites:

Coursework is identical to all other course codes (ie 20%)

Pupils either sit Foundation level and take papers 1 and 2 or sit Higher level and take papers 2 and 3.
There are 3 Exam slots and everyone takes their easier paper first.

Pupils spend the first half of the time available with a calculator working on section A. They are then instructed to put their calculators on the floor and are handed section B. They can then spend the second half of the available time working on either section.
