  • Section A: 18 one-mark questions.
  • Section B: 7 two-mark questions.
  • Section C: 5 three-mark questions.
  • Section D: 2 case-based questions.

The case-based questions test whether you can read a short passage and apply a law. Marks are given for the formula, the substitution and the final answer with units.

Time yourself: the sample paper should take you 3 hours with 15 minutes to review. Use the marking scheme to find your gaps.

This is a demo story: every name, place, organisation and figure in it is fictional.
