Tips

Exam tips

Marks come from key words

  • Give the number of marks’ worth of points the question asks for.
  • Name the substance, then explain — do not explain without naming.
  • In calculations, show the equation, substitute, then give the unit.
  • In Paper 6-style questions, write the observation, not the conclusion.

Questions

About the Paper 2 style

Is this the real Cambridge Paper 2?

No. It is an original QuizQuip practice set written in the style of Paper 2 so you can rehearse the format and the timing. It is not a Cambridge past paper, and QuizQuip writes all of its own questions.

How long should the twenty questions take?

The real Extended multiple-choice paper gives 45 minutes for 40 questions, which is about one minute per question plus reading time. This 20-question set is timed at 25 minutes to keep the same pace.

Does this set cover Core or Extended material?

It is an Extended set: most questions are answerable from the Core statements, and several also test Supplement statements, such as mole and gas calculations, bond energies and amphoteric oxides.

Do I need to show working?

No. Only the letter A, B, C or D is marked. For calculation questions it still helps to write the working in the margin so you can check a slip before you commit to an answer.
