Additional Set Piece List Updates

We’re pleased to announce an update to set piece guidance for LAMDA Exams.

As of August 2025, we'll be widening our Additional Set Piece List for Acting and Speaking Verse & Prose qualifications – meaning you'll be able to choose from more options for the set piece component of your exam.

With a wider range of resources available, we hope this will make these exams more accessible for more learners across the world.
 

From the launch of the new lists:

• Learners will be able to use pieces from Regulated GCSE and A-Level specifications that are included in the Additional Set Piece List at the correct level.
• We will also be listing alternative sources for many of our set pieces, ensuring you can access the piece either in the relevant anthology, or through other books, compilations, or web sources.

For example, a learner can choose a set piece to perform in their exam from their GCSE texts, and can source this from a book found in their school library.
 

Accessing the lists:

You'll easily find the current Additional Set Piece Lists on the LAMDA website through the 'Our Exams' tab. Once here, click 'Find out more' beside each Qualification Suite title to find more resources linked to those exams. 

From August 2025, these lists will be updated to include the new options.
