Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Current CAPE Caribbean Studies syllabus and paper format check

CAPE Caribbean Studies is a single-unit subject built on three modules: Caribbean Society and Culture, Issues in Caribbean Development, and Investigating the Caribbean Condition, which carries the research project. It is examined through a multiple-choice Paper 01, a written Paper 02, and either the internal assessment as Paper 031 or the alternative Paper 032 for private candidates.

First tasks

  • Check the current syllabus and timetable on the CXC website and note the paper format
  • Write the syllabus edition year inside the cover of your Caribbean Studies folder
  • List the specific objectives of Modules 1, 2 and 3 in syllabus order
  • Ask your teacher for the school's internal deadlines for the research project
  • Recheck the syllabus edition at the start of each school year @recurring(yearly)

Diagnostic Caribbean Studies paper and first essay

Most students arrive in sixth form with CSEC Social Studies or History behind them and assume Caribbean Studies is more of the same, then meet questions asking them to assess a theory or evaluate an argument. Sitting one past Paper 01 and one Paper 02 essay early, without notes, shows which concepts you hold precisely and how far your writing is from the analytical style examiners reward.

First tasks

  • Get a past or specimen Paper 01 and Paper 02 from your teacher or the CXC online store
  • Sit Paper 01 in one go at a clear desk with no notes and mark it
  • Write one Paper 02 essay against the clock
  • Tally errors by module and circle the three weakest objectives

Caribbean Studies study plan across the three modules

Schools teach Caribbean Studies over one year or spread it across both years of sixth form, and the research project runs alongside the taught modules rather than after them. A written plan that maps each objective to a month, blocks out the research project stages and keeps the last eight weeks free for revision prevents the familiar crush of an unfinished project in April.

First tasks

  • Ask your teacher whether the class takes Caribbean Studies over one year or two
  • Assign each module objective to a month on one page
  • Mark the school's research project deadlines on the same page
  • Pin the plan above your desk and give a copy to a parent

Make it yours.

Install CAPE Caribbean Studies, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
