Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry Exam Preparation and Practice with Digital Access (2 Years)
Author/s: Carl Thirsk, Kristy Turner
Designed to increase your confidence, help you recognise different question types, understand connections between concepts, reflect on progress and manage test anxiety. A wealth of questions and activities improve your ability to recall knowledge and answer effectively. Your awareness and familiarity with exam language is increased by the focus on command words, time management, and the marks breakdown within and across exam papers. Self-assessment checklists and sample answers also help to deepen learning.
Includes digital access and over 400 auto-marked questions and past-paper question practice. All other answers available via Cambridge GO. This text has not been through the endorsement process for the Cambridge Pathway. Any references or materials related to answers, grades, papers or examinations are based on the opinion of the author(s). The Cambridge International Education syllabus or curriculum framework associated assessment guidance material and specimen papers should always be referred to for definitive guidance.
