What is on it

All six modules, in 70 marks of short-answer and extended-response questions. You answer all questions.

Every unit that either 01 or 02 reaches is in scope here, so the unit lists on the Paper 1 and Paper 2 pages, taken together, are the answer. The OCR A specification map walks the modules point by point.
