The exam board usually publishes a syllabus with specified editions, which are chosen so that you can play a piece originally written for A clarinet on either instrument. For example, you can choose between two different Bärenreiter editions of the Mozart concerto (one for Bb clarinet, the other for A clarinet); or you can choose either the Bb or the A part for the Schumann fantasy pieces.
The exam is graded by one single examiner, and it would typically involve two accompanied pieces, one unaccompanied piece or study, sight reading, scales and aural tests. I think you also have to give the examiner copies of all the editions that you are using. They have recently introduced the option of recorded performances instead of a live exam (because of covid).
