To ask if there any English Language teachers here?

I’m genuinely sorry to use AIBU for this but I really just need a quick clarification.

My son is sitting English Language IGCSE with Pearson Edexcel this year and his tutor told him that the poetry anthology should be provided but to ask the exam centre for it.
Looking at past papers and online I’m not sure if they are correct.
The exam board are impenetrable and will not answer questions and the exam centre are not coming back to me.
Can anyone help?

I don’t teach the igcse or Pearson, but where is your son sitting the exam if he has a tutor? Or is the tutor in addition to school? You should be able to ask the exams officer wherever he is sitting the exam.

Looking at the spec, it depends on if he is doing components 2 or 3 - if he’s doing the coursework option and one exam, or if he’s doing two exams. He’d have already done the coursework route by now if he’s sitting the exam this year. I’m not 100% on it as it’s not one I know at all, but it looks like he should get the anthology if doing the exam. I’d still check with the exams officer wherever he is sitting the exam(s)

Seems pretty clear but you could check with Exams Officer if you're still concerned.

Thank you for your replies. I should have said that he is home educated.
I have asked the exams officer at the centre where he is sitting the exams but they are very slow to reply.
Hopefully I will hear back soon.
